In addition to encouraging volunteerism with a number of community projects, the Volunteer Center also coordinates programs of its own. For more information on any of the opportunities listed below, either follow the link or contact the VCSC.
VITAL
Tutoring
The VITAL Tutoring program is designed
to connect Lawrence student tutors with students from Appleton
area elementary,
middle, and high schools.
Parents: request a VITAL Tutor here.
LARY
Buddy Program
The LARY Buddy program matches Lawrence students with students
from Edison Elementary school in a mentoring program.
Summer
Volunteer Opportunity Grant (SVOG)
The Summer Volunteer Opportunity Grant is designed to provide
financial assistance for Lawrence students participating in service
projects as learning experiences during the summer months. SVOG funding is available to assist with the
practical expenses for summer service projects. Because the VCSC recognizes
the financial demands of a Lawrence University education, part of the funding
is also intended to offset the opportunity cost of a summer spent engaged in
volunteer and service work.
