The Duke Community Service Center works closely with 22 student-run service organizations. These groups receive funding from Duke Student Government through the CSC for service to the campus and Durham communities. All provide training for their volunteers, and many have weekly or bi-weekly membership meetings.
Volunteers usually commit an average of two hours a week to their group's activities.
Best Buddies' goal is to create social and recreational opportunities for Duke students and developmentally disabled adults. The group pairs each volunteer with a special friend. Break for a Change. BFC's goals are to promote informed community involvement and social action.
