Volunteer, Education ​/ Teaching

General Information

Volunteers provide their time and expertise to the CSU and its surrounding communities. In turn, volunteers gain valuable experience and a sense of personal satisfaction from performing such services. Volunteers perform work or provide services to the university without financial gain. CSU volunteers may perform work or provide services without compensation for a quarter, semester, academic year, calendar year, session, or any part thereof.

Work or services performed may be on an ongoing basis or for a short-term event. CSU volunteers may perform a variety of functions in support of campus activities. The use of volunteers is at the sole discretion of the department for which the volunteer is providing services. Volunteer services may end with or without prior notice at any time the department determines that the services are no longer needed.

No length of performance of volunteer services for a specific department or for the CSU shall create any entitlement, right or privilege on the part of any individual to continue providing prospective volunteer services for the CSU. Alternatively, CSU volunteers may discontinue providing their services at any time. Volunteers are not employees of the California State University, and are therefore not eligible for or entitled to compensation for services, sick leave, vacation accrual, retirement, and/or insurance benefits for their hours of volunteer service.

Under no circumstances can a CSU employee begin work as a volunteer before obtaining appropriate work authorization, or before any required background check process is complete.

If the background check reveals disqualifying information, and/or it is discovered that the candidate knowingly withheld or falsified information, clearance to begin volunteering might not be granted.
