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.
