How STUDENTS get involved!
The Student Volunteer Center’s goal is to connect students who want to
volunteer with opportunities on campus and in the Santa Cruz community. SVC maintains listings of one time volunteer-events as well as organizations that have ongoing opportunities for students right here in Santa Cruz and beyond. SVC also sponsors
campus events that promote volunteering and hosts student-run programs that
coordinate volunteering.
Here's How to get started:
