Last night, Circle of Friends for Mental Health onboarded a record 42 service learning students as volunteers!

After two years of zero programming, we came back fall quarter with 4 students. For Winter, we had 22 students who volunteered 841 service hours. We now have 42 students, 7 community partners and over 10 pathways for students to choose.

If I was a betting man, I’d say we will break 1000 community service hours this quarter alone! I can’t wait to see what we can do together!

Volunteer with community-based organizations as part of a course. Community-engaged courses combines service in the community with structured preparation and reflection opportunities, and address concerns that are identified and articulated by the community.
