Welcome to Fall 2012!

This semester has kicked off strong for BSU's Student Voluntary Services!

At the Volunteer Recruitment Fair, 32 agencies came to the Student Center and set up booths to get a chance to interact with the student body while fellow Program Coordinators monitored the computers where students were encouraged to sign up. Currently, our numbers are up! We have 831 volunteers signed up this semester.

This past weekend we celebrated a Second Saturday one time event dedicated to the September 11th Day of Service. 26 volunteers went out to 3 different agencies in the area: Muncie Children's Museum, Harvest Soup Kitchen, and Camp Adventure totaling 65 hours of labor. The volunteers at MCM painted the old, scary haunted house set in an effort to turn it into a storybook winter wonderland. At Harvest Soup, volunteers worked wholeheartedly, cleaning and sterilizing the facility. Camp Adventure was a great time as volunteers spent time outside on a gorgeous Saturday morning, also cleaning facilities. Here are a few pictures from the day at the camp.

This week (9/10/12-9/14/12) is the first week of volunteering for all coordinated programs and students are stoked to get out into Muncie and commence their service learning for Fall 2012. Thanks to all who are participating this year and the best of luck! We are moving Muncie forward, towards a better tomorrow.
