Ongoing Opportunities

Youthlinc is a non-profit organization that provides opportunities for Utah's youth to get involved in local and international humanitarian service.  Here is a list of local volunteer opportunities.
Assisteens® of Salt Lake City, a volunteer teen service group open to grades 7-12, is an auxiliary of Assistance League of Salt Lake City.
Assisteens supports many of the philanthropic programs carried out by Assistance League, but also selects and completes their own service projects within the community such as:
  • Hosting a holiday party with preschoolers at the Boys and Girls Club
  • Assembling Thanksgiving dinner boxes for those transitioning out of homelessness
  • Spending time with residents at a senior center
  • Providing needed supplies for Head Start preschoolers
  • Assembling over 85 bunny baskets for children at a transitional housing center
If you like to be challenged and want to get involved, this is a great program for you.  Earning the Award requires  you to set and reach goals in four areas:  Voluntary Public Service; Personal Development; Physical Fitness; and Expedition/Exploration.
The purpose of the Utah Commission on Service and Volunteerism is to enable individuals, communities, and organizations in Utah to benefit from the service, power, skills, and passion of volunteers.  They have partnered with JustServe.org where you can search for volunteer opportunities by zip code.

UServeUtah High School Council
It is a youth-driven advisory board made up of students from across the state dedicated to fostering community engagement among Utah youth. Council members will have the opportunity to collaborate and learn with each other, develop leadership skills, engage their peers by planning and executing a community engagement project, and influence public policy. 
  • Members serve from September 2023 through July 2024. Applicants must be in 10th, 11th, or 12th grade and should reside in Utah for the 2023-24 academic year to complete the full term of service. 
Intermountain Healthcare at times has volunteer positions for high school students.  Those include helping out at the guest services desk, volunteering at the gift shop, playing music in hospital lobbies, and more.  Please note that some positions specify in the title that they are looking for Junior volunteers, but some "regular" opportunities still accept students 16 and older, so make sure to read the descriptions.
