Lawrence University Volunteer and Community Service Center

The VCSC is dedicated to promoting lifelong values of commitment to service and civic engagement among Lawrence communities by serving as a source of information and support for students, faculty, staff and related organizations. Staff aims to accomplish this by meeting with students one-on-one, facilitating communication between student service organizations through monthly service council meetings, and providing support to faculty interested in community based engagement. Activities supported by the VCSC include ongoing programs such as mentoring and tutoring services within the Fox Cities area, annual events in collaboration with student organizations, and one-time service-oriented opportunities for both individuals and student organizations. Every effort is made to match volunteer interests with available service opportunities.

In keeping with the tradition of its founding as a student-led initiative, the VCSC is currently run by eight student staff members with the support of two professional staff members.
