ComMUnity Connect

Tracking Volunteer Hours

ComMUnity Connect is Miami University’s new tool for the promotion, management, and tracking of volunteer opportunities in our region.

Starting Fall 2021, all individual, student org, and chapter volunteer hours will need to be logged on ComMUnity Connect.

We believe this new tool will increase levels of community engagement in Southwest Ohio and provide us with a more accurate picture of how we are impacting our communities together as nonprofits and educational institutions.

ALL Miami staff, students, and faculty are able to log in using their Miami login information.
