Become a Volunteer 

UT Dallas Students 

New and returning UT Dallas students wanting to volunteer with the Comet Cupboard need to attend a one-hour volunteer training every year. We offer training sessions in September and February.  

We currently offer small group trainings for groups of 5 and more students.
Please join us on Teams to connect with other students who would be interested in participating in a small group training with you!

Once trained, students can use the EngageUTD platform to select any shift(s) that work best with their schedules. In addition to in-pantry distribution shifts, students can also participate in annual events, or volunteer in other ways that benefit the Comet Cupboard. 

Groups of at least five students can request an on-demand training session during October and March by emailing cupboard@utdallas.edu.

UT Dallas Staff and Faculty  

We are currently able to work with UT Dallas employee groups to provide volunteer opportunities. Interested departments should submit a volunteer interest form.

Below is a display of what shift categories will look like for student volunteers on GivePulse. Shift types will begin with the semester in which they are taking place, followed by a brief description.
