Internships, Community Service & Employment

Volunteering at UCSF is a specialized service, requiring singular commitment.

Does UCSF Volunteer Services accept court-ordered community service?

The department of UCSF Volunteer Services does not provide volunteer positions for people needing to fulfill court-ordered community service, to pay tickets, or to serve probation.  

I need to fulfill community service hours for my school but cannot make a weekly commitment. Can I do multiple hours during my school breaks?

No, we require a weekly commitment.  As all of our volunteer positions require specific training and consistent commitment, we are unable to offer periodic assignments.

Does volunteering improve my chances for getting a job with UCSF?

Volunteering will provide you with relevant experiences and a stronger skill set, but does not guarantee that you will gain employment at UCSF.   Volunteers must follow the same interview and selection process that is required for all applicants.
