SERVICE LEARNING & INTERNSHIPS - a good partnership
V-O-Cal is making the most of the abundant creativity and energy of students in the many Bay Area colleges and universities.

"During my internship with V-O-Cal, I learned what makes V-O-Cal unique and why people who volunteer with V-O-Cal keep coming back…because V-O-Cal is AWESOME!! Everyone I met through V-O-Cal was very enthusiastic about his or her experience with this organization. Interning with V-O-Cal will give you the opportunity to learn everything you want to know and more about non-profit organizations, the planning that goes into each hand-selected project, and what it takes to run a highly successful volunteer program leaving each volunteer satisfied and the project completed to the highest standard. Anyone who loves the outdoors and likes a challenge should intern with V-O-Cal. Awesome organization, satisfying work, and wonderful people!"
