Human services programs provide support to some of our area’s most vulnerable communities. Among other opportunities, student volunteers may serve at food pantries and day shelters, staff a local crisis helpline, form long-lasting relationships with elderly persons, aid in the construction and restoration of homes in the community, and even become certified to help local families file their yearly tax returns.
