SUNY Buffalo State students can be recruited for one-time, short-term, or ongoing projects with community agencies through our online volunteer posting system known as BengalLink. Students can assist with projects that require extra assistance. Examples include, but are not limited to, community revitalization projects, tutoring, mentoring, clerical work, mailings, fundraisers, or special events.
Throughout the year, the Civic and Community Engagement Office sponsors service events for SUNY Buffalo State students.
