People become involved in community service for a variety of reasons.
Some volunteer to help others or to focus on a specific issue or to gain work experience and career exposure. Whatever your reason, it is important to examine your motivations in order to find the program that will best suit you. Sometimes you will have to leave two or three messages before the agency coordinator gets back to you. Don't give up. All of the agencies the UCSC works with have expressed an interest in working with you.
