Make a difference. Gain experience.
Leadership and Service Center staff members will help students identify a non-profit
based on the student’s specific interest area and it will be their responsibility
to work with that non-profit to determine an appropriate project to complete during
the year. In addition, Community Service Ambassadors will also engage in social issue
discussions with their fellow service peer leader cohort weekly in the Fall.
Serving as Community Service Ambassador is a great way for you to:
- Connect to a local non-profit in the Columbia area for an extended period of time
- Get experience in the non-profit sector while completing over 50 hours of community service (which you can use towards completing GLD)
- Be a part of a cohort of students completing a similar experience and bonding over your shared experience
