Volunteer Service
Volunteer service is a great way to get involved with your community! This type of service is not linked to a specific course, and can be performed by individuals, groups, student clubs/organizations and even with your family. There are so many ways to become engaged – each person can contribute something back to the community. Most of the time, you’ll receive something wonderful in return.
