Community Service Programs

Community Service Programs promotes, organizes and supports a variety of public service opportunities and civic engagement activities for the campus community. It also maintains a resource center for students interested and engaged in community service.

Community Service Programs emphasizes community-based education, helps expand opportunities for students’ intellectual and social development, and encourages respect for cultural diversity and programming that enhances global awareness. The office provides advisement and resources to student organizations engaged in community service including Volunteer ETSU, Up ‘Til Dawn, and Alternative Spring Break.

Volunteer ETSU is a leadership team that organizes and promotes community service opportunities for the student body. Among the activities planned and implemented by Volunteer ETSU are blood drives, the Scoop on Service—a community service agency fair that connects agencies with potential volunteers, and Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week.

Up ‘Til Dawn is a student-led effort to educate the community about St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital while raising funds through a variety of activities. Through the collaborative efforts of students, faculty, staff and the community, Up ‘Til Dawn at ETSU raises tens of thousands of dollars for St. Jude every year.

Alternative Spring Break places teams of students in communities to engage in service and experiential learning during spring break. Students work alongside community members, performing short-term service projects and learning about issues such as poverty, racism, homelessness and the environment.
