Volunteer Program Overview
The Volunteer & Mentorship Program provides an opportunity for LGBTQIA+ students and advocates to support the mission and goals of the Resource Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity at UC Santa Barbara. Volunteers will specifically work on the RCSGD’s publicity/outreach efforts, and develop leadership skills for their professional and career goals.
Volunteers will get the optional opportunity to be paired and coordinate individual meetings with an assigned LGBTQIA+ Staff, Faculty, or Graduate Student Mentor to discuss their personal well-being and professional development.
