Potential Volunteer Opportunities

A group at SIPA (Students for Haiti) are creating a system to enable individuals to get matched for potential volunteer opportunities with different NGOs working in Haiti or on Haiti-related projects. Please note that these opportunities are not organized by Columbia University or Students4Ayiti i.e. not organized "service trips". For information, please email haitianaid@gmail.com for any inquiries.
  • The volunteer sign-up form at http://www.students4haiti.org. Many NGO's are mentioning they need medical people, and the Mailman/Medical campus certainly is a good place to find them. If students complete the volunteer form, they will be matched with an NGO which needs their skills, and contacted with the available volunteer options.
  • Students4Haiti (S4H) is doing a massive NGO needs assessment to find volunteer places for persons interested in short, medium, and long term efforts. We are recruiting for volunteers to do outreach to a list of 60 NGO's, many of which we already have students with contacts at. We would be delighted to have help from anyone who is interested in helping us do outreach, especially those with linkages already in place.
