There are new service opportunities and events happening at the Richter Center. See some of our highlighted activities and opportunities below.
Community Service Opportunities Fair
The spring Community Service Opportunities Fair will be held on January 29, 2025 in the Resnick Student Union, Ruiz Room from 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM.
When students partner with local community benefit organizations a unique opportunity arises for students to develop a better understanding of the
comprehensive needs that exist in the community. These partnerships provide students
with valuable learning experiences and community agencies with a valuable pool of
potential volunteers, interns, and even employees.
During the Community Service Opportunities Fair students will have the opportunity to learn about volunteer, service-learning, internship and career opportunities offered through area community benefit organizations.
