Do Something. Make a Difference. Get involved!
Volunteer Programs provides opportunities for students, staff and faculty to get involved and serve
our community. As a student we can help you find community based organizations that you may
volunteer with. If you are currently involved as volunteer we want to know where and how our
students can get involved in your organization. If you want to offer your time, talents, and leadership
to those in need check out the following opportunities:
•
Fall Day of Service- a one day event in early October where the whole campus comes together
to help multiple organizations
•
Alternative Spring Break- Give your time off to help other people. Travel somewhere to help
others. Applications are available each year in February.
