Community Partner FAQs
- My non-profit agency is in need of volunteers. What is the process for requesting and getting them?
- Agencies should download either a Volunteer Description form, complete all information and submit to DCCE-Durham. These forms are available in .pdf format. If you need assistance call 684-4377. All volunteer requests should be submitted at least two weeks prior to an event. This information will be posted to relevant email lists as well the searchable database of volunteer opportunities. There is no guarantee for actually getting Duke student volunteers. Our students volunteer according to interests and their availability.

- My organization is seeking answers to a variety of questions dealing with technology, communication techniques, grant writing and more. Is there a site that might help?
