Madison House Volunteer Opportunities

Madison House serves as the student volunteer center at the University of Virginia. As a student run non-profit organization, Madison House coordinates volunteers, develop leaders, and builds community partnerships  to promote lifelong volunteer service. 

Registration for the majority of Madison House programs opened this week! Click here to see a complete list of the volunteer programs and registration instructions. 

Program Highlights: 
Recreational Therapy
Animals and Environment
Adopt-a-Grandparent
The programs above are excellent ways to serve the Charlottesville community and gain clinical experience through patient interaction. 

The Medical Services Program is also available through Madison House but requires a separate registration process as follows:
*If you wish to volunteer with Medical Services, attendance is required at one of the following information sessions in order to gain access to the online application and participate in the program.
