Hey everyone! One of the things that really attracted me to Boston College was its spirit of community service and ideal of men and women for others. A large majority of BC students take part in some form of community service, whether its for a service trip, campus club, or the university’s PULSE program. Last week, I attended the Boston College service fair in the Fulton Honors Library. Here, a number of representatives from great programs, centers, and schools around Boston gathered to recruit BC students for their awesome service opportunities.
A lot of students at BC volunteer at Boston service centers for several hours each week, but seeing as I already have such a hectic schedule, I was worried about not having the time to participate in any of the programs offered. I always loved volunteering in high school but haven’t had the chance to help out on a weekly basis at BC. However, I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of opportunities that were presented at the fair, many of them being manageable and easily accessible. I finally signed up to do a tutoring program with elementary school children for 1-2 hours a week that takes place on campus. I truly love that BC puts such an emphasis on service and am glad that I can give back to the Boston community in my own little way! I would highly recommend taking advantage of the service opportunities at BC, they are always such a great experience!
More to Come!
