To date, thirty-three faculty have become part of the Service Learning Fellows Program. It was designed by students, both within and outside of the program, in an effort to bring together people who share common interests to do community service. Since 1984, more than 750 University students have offered over 43,000 hours of academic assistance to several thousand diverse learners. Stockbridge Hall UMass Extension is sponsoring Earth Connection '98, an action conference for high school-age young people and their advisors. Volunteers are needed to organize groups to attend the conference and to offer workshops.
Students can commit themselves based on what time they have available, and there is no minimum.
Community Service Council is a board of students, faculty members, administrators and representatives from local community agencies who come together regularly to share information and develop ways to promote community service on campus. The V.I.V.A. Community Service Council provides local community agencies with a role in shaping the service agenda of the campus and promotes more effective communication between local groups and the university community.
