In order to help in your efforts to protect your communities from COVID-19, the Biden-Harris administration and AmeriCorps are making sure you have tools to help your communities get vaccinated, particularly as students across the country head back to school.
We know that the questions or concerns of people who are not yet vaccinated are best addressed by trusted messengers – people and organizations who are well-regarded within their communities. This means President Biden is counting on YOU and your networks to build vaccine confidence and increase vaccination rates in your communities.
What can you do?
Mahalo for joining us in this important effort.

As COVID-19 has ravished communities all over the United States, it has left our seniors, ages 65 and older, extremely vulnerable. Amongst this population are those who serve in the Retired and Senior Volunteers Program under AmeriCorps Seniors (RSVP). These volunteers not only are vulnerable to the effects of COVID-19 themselves, but they serve their peers who are homebound through various programs such as Meals on Wheels, home shopping programs, providing transportation, and even assisting with medical care for those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. With support from clinical, pharmacy and community organizations such as AmeriCorps Seniors and RSVP, the vaccination rate among those 65 and older has risen to over 91% as of mid-March. “It’s so much less stress. I don’t know what we would do without (RSVP)” says Dorothy Dickey, who is clinically blind and relies on transportation through RSVP.

Volunteers are a critical component of the plans of many community organizations. These organizations often can’t afford to hire enough employees to enable their services to reach the fullest potential. Volunteers can fill the gaps by providing motivated labor for free or a minimal cost. At the same time, students learn valuable lessons that complement their in-class studies.
Service-Learning Programs are a win-win situation – they provide opportunities to help students succeed while enabling organizations to achieve their goals. Students participating in service-learning programs are ready and willing to help your organization, and the Office of Civic & Community Engagement has the tools and resources to help you find them.
The Office of Civic & Community Engagement has been connecting students and faculty with the community since 1994. We serve Hawaii by matching community organizations with students that can help them accomplish their mission.
How to get involved
The first step toward partnering with a student volunteer is joining our contact list. Organizations are also able to reserve a table at our annual Volunteer Fairs on campus. Send us an email at [email protected], and we’ll provide the information you need to begin a successful relationship that benefits everyone.
