Students have much to gain from civically engaging in the community. Volunteering on MLK Jr. Day provides an opportunity for you to:
- Enrich your degree: Learn how your intellectual and personal talents can address a need in the community while allowing you to apply the knowledge you are gaining in your coursework.
- Gain invaluable work experience and network: Many volunteering opportunities that are there for you as a student allow you to develop the skills you need for a job out in the ‘real world’ without having to get grilled in an interview first.
- Make a difference and be empowered: By volunteering, you are making the decisions and doing what you can in order to improve the environment around you. If you think you can do better, why not give it a go?
- Step away from coursework to think about your own commitment to civic engagement.
