Volunteer & Community Service

Description:

We are all called to serve others, and our world has an endless need for hardworking, energetic young people. Let His light shine through you and experience amazing fulfillment by matching your skills with a deserving organization. Together with CrossWalk, LifeWorks coordinates with area churches, businesses, and community organizations to help students find meaning and value in civic service and career exploration. Volunteer work ranges from a one-time experience to a semester of weekly volunteer service.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Can I receive academic credit for volunteer work?
  No academic credit will be awarded for volunteering in the community. However, by filling out the Leadership and Service Report, students’ volunteering hours will be tracked, and they will receive a volunteer transcript upon graduation. Forms are also located outside the cafeteria, outside the CrossWalk office, in the chapel office, and in the LifeWorks office.
