Volunteering in the Community

The Office of Student Involvement and Leadership Development provides students the opportunity to volunteer in the New Haven community. Members volunteer at local schools, nursing homes, animal shelters, and food pantries.  Saturdays of Service is a program that allows students to volunteer at different locations in New Haven on a Saturday or Sunday each month.

Campus-Wide Events

The Office of Student Involvement and Leadership Development coordinates the planning and development of Southern's campus-wide service events: - Day of Service, Adopt-A-Family Food Drive, Friends of Rudolph, and the Big Event.

Owls in the Community

Community engagement is an important component of the experience as a Division II student-athlete. Southern's Owls are active in the local community with various service ventures.
