Volunteer Service Program

Why should I engage in community service?

Research shows that community service has a variety of positive effects on college students, including enhanced civic responsibility, increased academic development, better GPAs, and heightened aspirations for advanced degrees. Students who participate in community service tended to spend more time studying, had greater contact with faculty members, increased social self-confidence, and enhanced leadership ability. (Journal of College Student Development, May/June 1998)

People volunteer for a whole host of reasons. They may get involved to explore various social issues and work for positive change in their community. Or, they might volunteer to complete a course requirement, to look for professional experiences, or to add experience to a resume or graduate school application. Regardless of the initial motivation, many find that community service work is something that makes a difference in their own lives, as well as in the lives of others.
