Prominent Community Service Programs
at the Center for Leadership and Civic Education
- Student Service Advising
- The Center for Leadership and Civic Education serves as the campus hub for connecting students to nonprofit agencies in the Tallahassee community. Students looking for a place to volunteer can meet with a student service advisor who will help to match students’ specific interests to local community needs. In addition, advisors can inform students of special events, projects, programs, and leadership opportunities in service. To meet with an advisor, call ahead to make an appointment or just stop by during normal business hours. Students can also search for community service opportunities using the Volunteer Connection or by subscribing to the ServNews Listserv. Click here for more information.
