Student Volunteering & Community Engagement
Connecting with our community is an important part of the Waubonsee student experience. Volunteering allows students to make a difference, build skills, and learn more about social issues affecting our region.
We encourage students to explore volunteer opportunities both through Waubonsee and independently within the community.
