Mission: Whitman Community Service is a central coordinating office for on- and off-campus volunteer efforts. We promotes citizenship and public service as an integral part of education and of life.

Description: Community Service provides opportunities to begin volunteering through the Experience Expo and annual service days such as Make a Difference Day. Student interns coordinate our four on-going programs: Whitman Mentor Program, Story Time Project, Youth Adventure Program, and Adopt-A-Grandparent. We also work with the Community Service House, an interest house designed for students interested in pursuing community service and promoting a service ethic on the campus.

History: Community Service was implemented on campus during the 1994-1995 academic year. It has been supported through generous alumni donations, the Privat family, as well as through a gift from the class of 2001.

How to Volunteer: Anyone interested in volunteering may browse the many opportunities on our website, attend the Experience Expo, drop by the Community Service Intern Office (RCC 224) or Community Service Coordinator Office (RCC 223), or schedule a one-on-one volunteer consultation with Lina Menard, Community Service Coordinator. We are always excited to talk with you!
