Our students provide this service at no charge to individuals or the agencies and can even assist those who may not speak English that well. C.A.R.E. C.A.R.E. volunteers work with children from local homeless shelters. Its purpose is to provide an encouraging and fun-filled environment for children who are not able to participate in certain activities we may take for granted. Each year C.A.U.S.E. sponsors a Halloween Party and Easter Egg Hunt as well as other outings throughout New York City. Through this division, St. John's students are matched with different agencies where they can volunteer.
Students can get valuable experience if their service is related to their major.
Most students become involved simply because they see a need. Many of them assist at soup kitchens and agencies in the area. All activities and events are publicized through the Public Relations division. They produce and distribute fliers, write articles for campus newspapers, and organize volunteer fairs on campus to introduce students to different volunteer organizations.
