Where to Go When You Need Help Finding Civic Engagement Opportunities

Help is at hand if you need support finding and arranging civic engagement projects. This blog is of course a great resource of information, and you can always stop by my office to discuss your civic engagement passions, confusions and aspirations.

Here are two additional on-campus places to explore:

Shaw Center for Public and Community Service

The Shaw Center for Public and Community Service is located in the Schine Student Center (right across from Career Services), and can put you in touch with many service opportunities throughout the city. The Shaw Center even has a van and can help transport you if you need it. Stop in and fill out their volunteer interest form and get to know these helpful people.

Visit the basement of Hendricks Chapel to find the Office of Engagement Programs. There is a wealth of activity emminating out of this dynamic office including the International Young Scholars program which you can read more about in another blog post. Stop by to learn more and connect in.

Love Horses?

Here’s yet another really great place to serve and earn civic engagement hours:

Sunshine Horses

From their webpage: 
Many of our horses are retired Standardbred racehorses, but we also welcome horses of other breeds into our program. Most of the retired Standardbreds come to us because they lacked the desire or skill to be successful on the track. Occasionally they have just become too old to race, or have an injury that prohibits further racing. Many of the horses are used to being driven, and adapt well to light carts and carriages. Most of them readily learn to accept a saddle and rider. We work with them to help them accept their new lives, and try our best to match each one’s unique qualities to the needs of a potential adopter.
 
So many opportunities….so little time!

2012 Block Blitz logoHome HeadQuarters 2012 Block Blitz
Friday, September 14th, 9am-4pm
Target neighborhoods: Syracuse’s Southside and Near Westside
 
Yet another excellent civic enagement project that is a one day event:
When I worked with Syracuse’s low income credit union, Home HeadQuarters was responsive and responsible to the needs of low income homeowners and want-to-be homeowners. I’d love to see Honors students involved in this event. Like if you might go!

Keep those Civic Engagement hours coming!!

Students have been submitting hours from service contributed around the world.  Avoiding logging your hours because you don’t know how to get a supervisor’s signature?

Here’s how to do it:

 

  • Email a copy of the form (you received a copy via email), supervisor signs, scans and sends back to you and you email it to kjhall@syr.edu

or

  • Supervisor takes picture of his/her signature with phone and emails it to us

or

  • Supervisor emails kjhall@syr.edu with a simple sentence listing your name, agency name, hours of service.It’s pretty easy no matter where your supervisor is in the world!!
