For example, one course teams students learning Spanish with a Latino family in North Carolina. The students learn about the obstacles families typically find in obtaining health care and then plan a workshop to help Latino families gain improved access to medical care. Deliver medicines to flood victims, work in a homeless shelter, teach an adult to read. You can search the Carolina Center for Public Service database for opportunities to join work in the community, the state, and beyond. In the past year, Carolina's public service activities helped more than 400,000 people.
Student organizations apply for grants from the center in order to conduct service activities.
Many other students get involved through the Campus Y, a student-driven organization whose mission is the pursuit of social justice.
