Local community service work is an important part of your college education. Northern's Serve organization offers opportunities throughout the academic year for you to participate in local service projects, and helps you connect with local agencies seeking volunteer help.
Serve tracks the number of hours students volunteer at local agencies; for this reason, you're required to coordinate your service activities through the Serve office. To learn more about local service opportunities, contact Serve or the Office of Student Activities.
Visit Serve's Gallery to see Northern students in action in the community.
