A lot of the events and services we provide at the ACC wouldn't be possible without our amazing and generous volunteers. Volunteering is a great way to connect with the IU and Bloomington communities. It's also a good opportunity to build your resume.
Get involved at the ACC during your free time. We are flexible so you can fit the ACC into your schedule.
The ACC is looking for volunteers for two special projects. If you are interested in either of these opportunities, please email acc@iu.edu for more information.
The Asian Culture Center is looking for volunteers for the 2026 Asianfest. Committee members will help plan and organize the event, which requires a commitment of about 1 hour per week. Availability during both the fall and spring semesters is necessary. This role offers opportunities to contribute to one of the year's most significant educational and cultural events. For more information, please email Selena Vu at acc@iu.edu.
Do you listen to AAPI musicians? Do you want to interview famous AAPIs visiting Bloomington? Do you want experience editing content? Hearabouts is a monthly radio show run by volunteers, so if you are interested, we would love to welcome you to the team!
Rice Paper is an eight-page newsletter produced each semester. You can contribute by writing and reporting, editing, and designing.
For more volunteer opportunities, get involved with any of the following.
Are you fluent in speaking and/or writing in an Asian language? Would you like to share your skills and volunTeach a one-hour language class every week for 8 weeks in the fall or spring semester? We are looking for volunteers to teach an informal language class/es in Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, Hindi, Tagalog, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and more.
The Asian Culture Center is offering a FREE English tutoring and mentoring service to IU students led by peer mentors. We are seeking student peer mentors who will provide advice, support, attention, and kindness to students who would like some guidance with cultural adjustment, campus life, and schoolwork. These one-on-one meetings may also be an opportunity for learners to practice conversational English and meet new friends. In addition to providing a service to the community, peer counselors will gain invaluable teaching experience and communication skills.
If you know how to play mahjong or go, you can volunteer to teach them. Alternatively, if there is another Asian game you know, we would love to have you teach it, too!
We could always use extra hands at the ACC, particularly at special events. If you enjoy making crafts, performing at cultural events, or would like to help out in event set up or clean up, feel free to volunteer!
You can also help by donating to the Asian Culture Center. Your contribution will support the mission of the Asian Culture Center as a place to build friendships, to learn, and to grow together.
The ACC's work would not be possible without our wonderful volunteers and the support of our IU and Bloomington community. Thank you!
