Volunteer Opportunities
Gamma Sigma Sigma
91¿´Æ¬â€™s premier chapter of the National Service Sorority exemplifies the notion of “service, friendship, and equalityâ€. Under the advisement of the Director of Civic Engagement, Gamma Sigma Sigma’s purpose is to assemble students in the spirit of service to humanity and to develop friendship among students of all races and creeds.
Gamma Sigma Sigma promotes a lifelong commitment to service and diversity, in an environment of unity and equality, while creating opportunities for growth. Consider joining Gamma Sigma Sigma and make lifelong friendships while engaging in community service!
Habitat for Humanity University Chapter
Are you interested in sustainable and affordable housing? Would you like to be involved in an active student group who helps provide safe, healthy, and affordable homes for local families? Consider joining Habitat for Humanity! This student-led group serves the local Lehigh Valley affiliate every month. Participating in home builds at a construction site, volunteering at the local ReStore, and hosting our annual Homecoming Build, our group actively supports families in our community and beyond. Additionally, students are encouraged to apply for a spot on a Habitat spring break trip! Students travel to a Habitat build site in the United States to contribute to a home for a deserving family. Schedule an appointment with the office for more information and to pick up an application. Spots are limited and go fast!
Mentoring
The Center partners with William Penn Elementary School to form a school-based mentoring program. University mentors will meet with their mentees weekly for 30-60 minutes throughout the academic year.
Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week
Held every year during the week before Thanksgiving, students participate in a week-long social movement to discuss, reflect and engage in the powerful root causes of hunger and homelessness in America. Our aim is to engage students in activities that allow them to become change agents in our community. Activities include but are not limited to, documentary viewings and discussions, participation in an Oxfam Hunger Banquet, engaging in various service activities in local food pantries and shelters, and participating in a Sleep-Out on 91¿´Æ¬â€™s grounds.
