 CREATING COMMUNITY &
OPPORTUNITY AS A
VOLUNTEER
• Volunteerism (our answer to Extern/Intern Experience)
• This year we are going to help create volunteer relationships and
opportunities for our students who are willing to put in an 85 hour
commitment to help them gain relevant work experiences while bringing
a sense of community to our online campus. Through volunteering the
students will also gain tangible, life-changing experiences that will
enrich the lives of others and help them meet their objectives.

• Creating A Unified Community – Online to the Ground

• Online can be impersonal – a campus wide initiative helps unify our
student body and adds value to their educational experience.
• Bringing the Campus together in partnership with the ground campuses
– who will support our efforts – also a great way to promote and brand
MMCO to their grads for our continuous education enrollment initiative.
Working with a national charity will help us achieve this…
• This year we will create a reciprocal on-going
relationship with the MOD that will spark interest
throughout our student body to get involved at some
level of the organization as a part of their volunteer
hours. Their participation would be relevant
throughout various levels and functions at the MOD
organization depending on their major.
 Healthcare
• Nursing BS
• Allied Health Management Degree – BS
• Health Information Technology – AS
Nursing Students and Medical
Assistants can volunteer in a
NICU at participating hospitals
for 85 hours – the scope of that
volunteer work would be
determined by the wing they
work on and the director who
handles such staffing.
The above scenarios are all a few methods of
volunteer participation.
The MOD has many way to “get involved”

It will take all of us as a team to pull it off
successfully!
• When presenting our students for any volunteer opportunities (or graduate opps.)
we will create a profile page that can be used for all of our students (example
next slide).

• Our Support to the Recipient Organization/Business

• Checklist of things the volunteers can and cannot do onsite.

• Work with the facility to ascertain the scope of work to be
performed by the students through the volunteer hours in
advance so that the shift supervisors will know exactly how to put
them to work when they are on site. Takes the guest work out of
it for them.
• Utilize that org/co.’s standard docs (i.e. background checks/drug
screening, etc.)

• Feedback Form /email for employer once/wk – check up on students –

file in their records or on CV.

• Reference Form or Letter of Reference at end of 85 hours

2 Types of Profiles
•Volunteer
•Graduate
Sending a profile page instead of
a resume helps us maintain control
over tracking volunteer placements,
particularly if they transition into
full-time opportunities for our
Students. In addition, many other
colleges have interns/externs and
volunteer submission – a profile
page brands MMCO and eliminates
confusion of where the volunteer
originated.
