SVS boasts one of the largest active memberships among Ball State student groups, with more than 2,000 students participating annually. SVS collaborates with more than 100 local service agencies to offer students opportunities to engage in community service.
Students work to meet the needs of both the agencies and the populations they serve.
Students must work within agency guidelines, but have the flexibility to provide ideas or organize activities in consultation with agency staff. SVS also involves students in one-time and short term service programs and activities. These opportunities, characterized by placement in an arranged semester-long program and is supervised by a student program coordinator, generally have transportation provided. It is the responsibility of the student to arrange days and times of his or her service. Service providers work on an individual basis with the agency and provide their own transportation.
