 The
Office of Volunteer Services serves as a clearinghouse and referral service
for students and staff who are interested in community service. The program
is multifaceted in its approach to service.
-
Direct referrals can be made for students and groups who would like to
commit to on-going service.
-
Customized projects can be developed with area agencies to meet the goals
of classes, organizations, and individuals.
-
One-time projects such as fund-raisers, awareness campaigns, and disaster
relief are popular projects for student and staff volunteers.
-
Community Service Referrals are in place to assist students with judicial
and community restitution sanctions.
-
The Community Outreach program develops opportunities for students to become
involved in special projects in the community.
As a clearinghouse, groups and individuals receive assistance in developing
service opportunities that fit their interests and skills. A bullentin
board is located outside the Volunteer Services Office in MSC 2W32 that
highlights one-time projects and on-going committments. Community agencies
register with the office and provide detailed descriptions of the types
of assistance that their particular agency requires. |
