Service Learning Volunteer Center

 

The Service Learning Volunteer Center (SLVC) supports student, campus and community service by offering several ways for students to volunteer depending on each student's interests and availability. Students interested in volunteering should visit the center in Parking Lot 5, Room 5912, and complete a Volunteer Profile Form. The SLVC provides information for ongoing Volunteer Opportunities as well as done-in-a-day projects.

 

Units toward Certificate of Completion in Leadership and Community Service: Students can also earn college credit by enrolling in SOSC 79: Introduction to Community Service. Students interested in this course should contact the SLVC as soon as possible.

 

In addition, the SLVC and on-campus Financial Aid Office now offer the Community Service Work Study Program. Students who qualify for federal work study can complete work-study assignments at local non-profit agencies.

 

Each year the SLVC hosts two on-campus volunteer fairs enabling students to meet representatives from local non-profit agencies. The SLVC also sponsors service projects and events throughout the year.
