Miscelaneous Service Projects

While being a member of the Service Leader Program, I get the opportunity to become involved with random and miscellaneous service projects. Some of these service projects that I have or other service leaders have been involved with are listed below:

• Writing letters to professors
• Writing letters soldiers overseas

• Opportunity to go on service trips 
• Read it DC
• Freshmen Service Day
• Strut Your Mutt (Walking Dogs)
• Volunteering with the Autism Program on Campus

• Camp Libby 
• Compass Student Dances
• Tutoring Children

• Nursing Homes
• Passing out Candy to elderly
• Volunteering at the Path Center
• Donating Food

As you can see there are so many diverse opportunities that are provided on campus. I get emails daily from members of campus and my service leader colleagues. There is always service that can be done and there is always lots of service activities and opportunities. Through the service that I do, I get to meet wonderful people in the community who I build strong relationships with. Service work is a good way to step out in the community and meet new people.Not only do these service opportunities help out the campus, community, environment they also help build character and a resume. I would not be the person I am today without all of the service that I have participated in. Anyone can volunteer, all it takes is an hour or two out of your time and a smile. I take pride in the work I have done and all that I have accomplished here on and off campus.

If there is a service project that you would like to do and it is not on campus, you can always start it. Being apart of the Service Program will help you become one step closer to those projects. In addition to starting a service project, that it is where my next and final blog takes me.
