Participants can volunteer on various one time service projects offered throughout the week and will gain an understanding of social and environmental issues, engage in direct service, reflect on their impact and learn about continued engagement in communities. Food and transportation are provided by the Volunteer Resource Center and each project is lead by a student leader.
