Volunteer Events
Campus Ministry offers many volunteer opportunities on campus and in communities near and far. Friends of Night People, Adopt a Grandparent, service trips to Puerto Rico are just some of the ways you can help others.
Lending a Hand Mission Trip
Thirty students and seven staff will travel to Puerto Rico for Lend a Hand. There will be two groups going, one in December of 2018, and the other group going in March of 2019.
Service in Puerto Rico will include feeding the homeless and rebuilding. These week long service trips will be a positive and life-changing experience for the students and staff who participate.
York Street Clean Up and Beautification
Every year Campus Ministry organizes a group of students, faculty and staff to help clean up and beautify nearby York Street. We work with the neighbors to tidy up the community garden and the sidewalks.
