Sibley Day Community Service Fair

Want to give back?  Find out how at the Sibley Day service fair. Students can talk to representatives from 37 different community nonprofit agencies to find the perfect match for service opportunities.  

Why volunteer?  Students who are engaged in community service during their college years often earn better grades, demonstrate greater educational gains, and increase their critical thinking skills. We look forward to welcoming the agencies that provide volunteer opportunities in our community.
