Community Service

Bryant encourages all students to engage in service activities on-campus and throughout the greater community. Volunteering helps develop leadership skills, fosters a great sense of pride, and allows students to help improve the lives of others.

Students interested in volunteering their time and skills can join service clubs and organized activities, including:

• Alternative Spring Break
  Forgo a week of fun in the sun to take part in service opportunities organized by Campus Ministry and the Center for Student Involvement.
• Big Brothers and Big Sisters
  Improve the life of a child by volunteering your time to be their mentor and friend.
• Bryant Builds (Habitat for Humanity)
  Help build a new home for a family in need.
• Bryant Helps
  Join fellow students interested in organizing activities and events that serve the communities around Bryant.
• Bulldogs Building Bridges
  Develop Bryant's role in the community by contributing agencies and organizations throughout Rhode Island.
• Raise Your Voice Week
  "Raise Your Voice" is a national campaign that encourages students to take part in the political process. Events are geared around issues critical to our democracy.
• Service Council
  The Council is a collection of service oriented student groups that meet monthly to discuss and support different service opportunities on and off campus and includes these organizations.
• Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program
  Students can enhance their accounting skills while helping people at the same time. The IRS-sponsored VITA program trains students to prepare taxes for low-and-moderate income people in the state. Bilingual students are encouraged to apply.
