The Volunteer and Community Services Program is an option to help college students get real world experience while helping others. The program aims to involve students with the community to work together as a team and learn from one another.
Volunteering can help students bridge the knowledge they receive in the classroom and apply to it hands on experience. The program places students on campus as well as in the community. The site can be related to their major or an interest that the student expressed. The goal is to have a meaningful and enjoyable experience.
Interaction with people from the community can help with recommendations for future jobs. There are many positive aspects to being a volunteer; especially feeling good about making a difference.
