Volunteer Southern Maryland is a community resource housed at the College of Southern Maryland. Volunteer Southern Maryland (VSMD) proudly opened its doors on July 17, 2002 after one year of planning. It started when a group of community members began meeting to assess the need for a volunteer center. Today VSMD is placing volunteers in various opportunities throughout the community. The primary role of VSMD is to recruit and mobilize citizens to meet local needs through volunteer service. VSMD provides consultation, training and technical assistance to businesses and nonprofit organizations that work with volunteers to build their skills in recruiting, managing, retaining and recognizing volunteers.
