Page Content

Students applying for the Â鶹´«Ã½ CItizen Scholars designation should ensure they complete 100 hours SEPARATELY from their community-engaged learning experience. 

What Counts as Community Service
  • Volunteering with a community organization (not a for-profit business)
    Examples: coaching, tutoring, mentoring, food pantries, nursing homes, etc
  • Volunteering at a faith-based organization without faith requirement (not teaching Sunday School, evangelism, singing in choir)
    Examples: Setting up decorations for event, volunteering with outreach activities, child care during services or at Vacation Bible School, etc
  • Volunteering as part of an event that raises money for charity (not donating items or asking for donations)
    Examples: 5Ks, Chili Cook-Off, Car Wash
  • Volunteering with a campus department for an activity that benefits a charity or the general well-being of the Â鶹´«Ã½ community (not just activities that only help University departments)
    Examples: Eagles Nest Food Pantry, Post-Game Campus Clean Up, Seymour’s Career Closet, The Institute for Disability Studies 
  • Student activities that benefit the health or well-being of the community or campus  (not just tabling to recruit members for a student org or putting on recreational activities)
    Examples: Walk to End Alzheimer’s, Mental Health Awareness Week, EagleTHON
  • Volunteering with citizenship or voter registration activities (not campaigning for a specific candidate or political party)
    Examples: How to Voter Registration, Voter Registration *Drive Thru*,
