West Liberty, W.Va. — West Liberty University will host a Nonprofit Opportunity Fair on Wednesday, March 4, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Elbin Library, bringing together nonprofit organizations and members of the campus community to explore employment, internship, service, and project-based learning opportunities.

The fair is designed to connect local and regional nonprofits with West Liberty students, faculty, and staff who are interested in gaining hands-on experience while contributing to meaningful community work. Participating organizations will have the opportunity to share current and future opportunities, raise awareness of their missions, and build relationships with potential interns and employees. Space will also be available for organizations wishing to conduct on-site interviews later in the afternoon.

There is no cost to participate, and nonprofit organizations may register at this website: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/q2na53kQDG

“Experiential learning is most powerful when it connects students to real needs beyond the classroom,” said President Tim Borchers. “This Opportunity Fair is about creating those connections—helping students apply what they are learning in meaningful ways while supporting nonprofits that play a critical role in strengthening our region. It’s a win for our students, our partners, and the broader community.”

West Liberty University continues to expand experiential learning opportunities that allow students to engage directly with employers and community organizations through internships, service learning, research, and applied projects. The Nonprofit Opportunity Fair is one way the university supports workforce development while reinforcing its commitment to regional impact.

West Liberty University blends a small-town environment with a comprehensive college experience, fostering students’ aspirations through hands-on learning, personalized support, and unique academic programs at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
