The Community Service Programs Office in the Department of Student Life coordinates one-time service events that are open to all members of the UVM community, service-based trips for incoming first-year students and advise student-led volunteer groups of the Volunteers in Action organization. Together we link the UVM community with the Burlington community. Our work specifically includes:

UVM Serves -
Each week the Community Service office sends out an email listing all the upcoming volunteer opportunities on and around campus. Anyone can sign up for this e-blast (students, faculty, staff, or community members). Join today by emailing Lluvia Mulvaney-Stanak at lmulvane[at]uvm.edu today!

Community Service TREK(each August) -
Each year, about 40 incoming first year students participate in a community-based orientation program that sends four week-long service trips to work with local non-profit agencies such as The Green Mountain Club, The Catamount Trail Association, and Habitat for Humanity. (more)


Serve-a-thon (each September) -
Each fall, hundreds of students volunteer for 15-25 non-profit agencies on projects ranging from yard work and trail maintenance to clean-up and painting. Some of the agencies include: The Committee on Temporary Shelter (COTS), The Ronald McDonald House, Vermont Cares, and The Green Mountain Club. (more)


Fill the Fireplace (each November) -
Just before the holiday season, the UVM community comes together to collect items for local agencies' 'wish lists' keeping them stocked for the holidays. (more)


Community Works 2008 (each April) -
As part of 'National Youth Service Day' UVM students join for another community service project similar to the Fall Serve-a-thon. (more)

Community Service TREK

Each year we kick the year off a week before students return to campus with a special first-year experience for 30 new students here at UVM. We take students into the local community to volunteer and otherwise bond with other new students. This is a great way to connect with new students (as a new student) or to take on a leadership role in leading these trips as a TREK leader.

For more information on any of these programs please contact Llu at lmulvane[at]uvm.edu
