Volunteer Opportunities

Make a difference in a student or faculty's life by becoming a mentor in NOVA's Career Connection and Alumni Network (CCAN) today. It’s easy, fun and rewarding!

CCAN is a feature of the college-wide online job-posting service called NOVATrak. By signing up with the CCAN, you are offering to be a mentor to NOVA students and alumni. Mentors may be used as contacts for informational interviews, guest speakers on panels and other career-related activities. As a mentor, you decide in which types of program(s) you would like to participate. Mentors designate how they wish to be contacted -- by phone, email or letter at work and/or home. It's FREE! Students and/or alumni requesting a mentor(s) will meet with a NOVA counselor to obtain names from the CCAN. Take advantage of this terrific opportunity to give back to NOVA and to assist our students and interested alumni.
