Students develop an understanding of the needs of a specific population by participating in hands-on volunteer activities with the hall Adoptive Agency. To match students' interests, agencies are selected and assigned based on the theme housing programs in each hall. Awards are given to halls with the highest number of donors. At the end of each academic quarter, EnRICH sponsors food and clothing drives. Items donated by students are given to adoptive agencies.
Students work together to purchase items indicated.
Residents choose not to eat a meal in the dining hall and donate the cost of their meal to a local non-profit agency. As a part of the hall judicial process, students violating residence hall policies have the option to donate service hours to a campus activity or a community agency. In reflection papers, students discuss the learning outcomes of the service activity. CSC is the Cal Poly campuswide program committed to education for civic responsibility.
