We are seeking UPQ helpers to assist welcoming new students to campus, providing directions, lifting and unloading. You can sign up for your shift according to your schedule, you can also request more than one shift when you register. Not all shifts require you to help lifting heavy objects. You can choose your preference for volunteer task when registering.
