Community Partners

Hoosier Volunteers partners with community organizations, schools and parks in various ways throughout the year. We try to identify the needs of the community and then create and manage projects that put our volunteers to work at meeting those needs. The projects are lead by IUN students and staff who are wanting to make an immediate and meaningful difference.

To address the critical needs of our community just complete our Community Partners Application.

Please submit applications to:

Hoosier Volunteers

3400 Broadway Ave

Hawthorn Hall, Rm 246

Gary, IN 46408

Please allow us a few weeks to review your application and follow-up with you. Although we cannot accomodate all applications we receive, we will do our best to fullfill your needs.
