Community Service Opportunities Fair
Our community ties are strong because we believe this region can thrive when the community and University work as one. That’s why we show our commitment to the community by partnering with local organizations and spreading Fresno State pride across the Valley.
The Community Service Opportunities Fair is hosted bi-annually by the Richter Center. The fair is both an in-person and online opportunity for students and local community benefit organizations to come together in a mutually beneficial way.
Below you will find information about community benefit organizations that are currently seeking volunteers. While this list includes a diverse array of service opportunities, there are hundreds of additional organizations in our area, around the state and across the nation that are in need of assistance from dedicated, skilled volunteers like you. Additional sources of information on service opportunities include Serve Fresno, HandsOn Central California, California Volunteers and Volunteer Match. The Richter Center staff can also provide more personalized assistance if the resources on this page do not meet your needs. Please email Trisha Studt at tstudt@csufresno.edu for additional assistance.
Please start by looking at the first tab below, "Students: Start Here!", where you will find helpful hints for your search.
As you prepare to investigate and select a community service opportunity, consider:
- Your personal goals and any applicable course requirements?
- Do you prefer a virtual, in-person, or hybrid service experience?
- What community issue(s) do you care about?
- Are there individual or group availability/scheduling limitations?
When researching and speaking with community organizations:
- Visit their website to learn more about the agency mission and services.
- Ask about potential volunteer opportunities, including suggesting ideas or projects related to your course goals or personal interests/skills.
- What requirements, orientation, and training are expected of students?
- What is the application process?
- Is there a specific schedule you will need to follow?
- Who would be your primary site supervisor/point of contact?
- Be clear about your class requirements, individual goals, and availability.
Follow the “5 P’s” by being:
- Prompt: Start researching and contacting sites right away. Don’t procrastinate.
- Prepared: Have a clear plan for introducing yourself, including who you are, why you are contacting the agency, and what questions you have for them.
- Patient: Agencies are often understaffed and overworked, so they may not be able to return your call or email as quickly as you think they should.
- Persistent: Even though you need to be patient, you can follow up on your own if you don’t hear back from the agency a day or two after your initial message.
- Polite: Always be polite! Let them know you realize they are busy, but that you are very interested in talking to them about serving at their agency.
If you have questions or need individual assistance in identifying service opportunities, please email tstudt@csufresno.edu

Beautify Fresno is Mayor Dyer’s initiative to improve the City of Fresno’s “curb appeal” through the coordinated delivery of existing City resources to eliminate trash, graffiti, and blight, and by creating community-based cleanup and beautification projects.
The Mayor’s vision was to create a new department with a singular focus – a sustainable, city-wide effort to clean Fresno’s neighborhoods, streets, and highways by partnering with local organizations, non-profits, churches, and service organizations, and individuals in the community to beautify, recycle, educate, and empower residents to make Fresno a cleaner, greener, more beautiful place to live, work and play.
