The Semester in Service program connects dedicated and motivated Salve Regina students with nonprofit organizations in need of long-term volunteers. In addition, Semester in Service participants are required to do one service hour in the Center for Community Engagement and Service on a weekly basis. The Semester in Service online application will close on Friday, Jan. 31 at noon. All applicants interested for Spring 2020 can apply online.

For Spring 2020, Semester in Service will run from Jan. 21 through May 1. During these weeks, students will volunteer weekly at the nonprofit organization of their choice. Van transportation picks up at Miley Hall 15 minutes prior to volunteer starting time (except during national holidays and/or University closings).

In addition, our Service Plunge 2.0 volunteer retreat is April 3-5. Participants have the opportunity to work closely with hunger awareness issues or environmental issues. Participant applications are online now until Feb 21 at noon, and participation is on a first come, first serve basis.
