Volunteer Connection
The Volunteer Connection, at the Clearwater Campus, was started in 1994 by students who were interested in constructing an organized alliance with other volunteer agencies around the state of Florida. It is a student implemented and managed office that believes students have a vital role to play in meeting Florida's social challenges. It has proven itself a vital asset to the citizens of Pinellas County by demonstrating hope and concern through a variety of endeavors aimed at enriching and solidifying a "connected" society. The Volunteer Connection has incorporated academic participation into its framework through the development of Service Learning. Service Learning, a method and philosophy of experiential learning through which participants in community service meet community needs while developing their abilities in critical thinking and group problem solving, their commitments and values, and the skills needed for effective citizenship.
