We spoke with a professor from a nearby community college about our volunteer program's need for tutors. He struck a deal with his class: Instead of writing a traditional term paper for his class, they had the option to volunteer as tutors for our organization and get the same amount of credit! Many colleges have professors that are willing to give college credit for volunteer work that relates to their class, community service organizations that are willing to volunteer, and job placement centers where you can post your volunteer opportunities.
