Service Opportunities

The Office of Community Engagement offers many ways for you to be a part of our community through fun volunteer opportunities such as tutoring, event support and sharing your skills.

We can connect you with many agencies in our community in need of a helping hand. A hallmark of Monarch pride is that our students, athletic teams, faculty, and staff are always working in our community to improve the lives of others.

  • Growing your lived experience of the diversity that shapes us
  • Gaining key leadership skills
  • Increasing self-confidence
  • Strengthening critical thinking skills
