HOW TO USE OUR DATABASE :D
I have had many questions on how to find volunteer opportunities on our online database and I will be the first to admit that it is very difficult.
If you're interested in searching through our database, here are some simple instructions:
1. Visit www.bsu.edu/svs
2. Refer to the right side toolbar. Click 'SVS Database.'
3. Click 'register here' and sign in with your BSU login.
4. If you have never volunteered with SVS, complete the questionnaire. Once completed, you will find yourself at your personalized main menu. Here you can check your logged hours, view/edit your personal information, and search for volunteer opportunities.
5. SEARCHING FOR A VOLUNTEER POSITION: At your main menu, click 'Search for an Opportunity.'
6. When you're searching on our database, you have to be mostly NONSPECIFIC. The more specific you are, the less likely you'll get results (even if your search preferences directly match a program). My best suggestion is that you search by program type.
7. PROGRAM TYPES: We have coordinated, independent, and one time programs.
The coordinated programs are lead by the student leaders of the organization. These students will be the liaison between you, the volunteer, and the organization, take you to the service site, and log your hours. Independent programs go according to your schedule and transportation and SVS will log your hours. The one time events are events that the Program Coordinators help plan throughout the year, a chance to make a commitment without dedicating your entire busy schedule/semester to it.
FRIENDLY REMINDER, MY FRIENDS: If you are an SVS volunteer, you are a member of our organization. WELCOME!

Around 9,000 children in Louisville are homeless. As we walked the streets and stayed in a hotel that also serves as transitional housing, we realized the amount of poverty in this city. We also realized that we were making a difference.
And that is what SVS is all about. But it wasn't all work and no play! Each night we had free time to goof off and reflections on what we learned. We also had a free day where we got to explore Louisville. Some of the places we visited were the Science Center, the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory, and the Muhammad Ali Center.
This was a very successful trip, in which we explored a new city, spent time with some amazing people and served others!
"Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth." - Muhammad Ali

Living Lightly Fair
Volunteering at the Living Lightly fair today at Minnetrista was a most excellent way to spend my Saturday morning. The center was ablaze with smiling people, fresh foods, bluegrass and efforts in sustainability! An event for the whole family, the campus was packed with people of all ages. Kids were entertained with educational games on water treatment and the chance to build their very own terrariums! All sorts of organizations, businesses, and information tables were placed in the big tent which seemed to be packed throughout the day. Live music of the bluegrass genre was performed by various acts to keep the kids dancing and the feet tapping. While the fair went on, so did the weekly farmer's market. The day was alive with the themes of free trade and healthy living, both for us and the planet. Across the way at the fairgrounds, a flea market with tables upon tables of goodies was hosted. Let me just say that I'm glad I left my wallet at home. Thinking back, the best thing about the day was the energy. The community came together to work for a better tomorrow environmentally, economically, and socially.
