COMMUNITY SERVICE
The Towson University Office of Student Activities
coordinates community service and volunteer activities for students,
faculty and staff. We also serve as a resource for community partners
seeking TU volunteers.
Why Do Community Service?
A lot of students find themselves short on time because of classes, jobs,
involvement in student organizations, and/or trying to have a social life.
So, why should you volunteer some of your precious time to others in need?
Here are the top ten reasons why YOU should volunteer and participate.
- Opportunity to make a difference in an area you care about.
- Meet great new people who are interested in the same areas you are.
- The chance to use your gifts and talents in new and interesting ways.
- Chance to improve the quality of life of those around you.
- Help you decide on a career path.
- Easy way to get valid experience in your future field of work.
- Volunteering looks excellent on your resume .
- Makes you eligible for some scholarships including the “TRL Choose or Lose Scholarship” sponsored by MTV.
- Help you develop new insights about yourself and better understand some of the attitudes you hold about life
- Volunteering gives you a feeling of accomplishment and fulfillment knowing that you made a different in someone's life that may last for an hour, a day, or maybe even a lifetime.
