News and Events

There are new service opportunities and events happening at the Richter Center. See some of our highlighted activities and opportunities below.

Did you miss the Community Service Opportunities Fair?

If you missed the in-person Community Service Opportunities Fair, you still have the opportunity to learn about volunteer, service-learning, internship and career opportunities offered through area community benefit organizations by visiting the Virtual Community Service Opportunities Fair!

Follow the link to the virtual fair and connect with local organizations.

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.
