The VCSC is dedicated to promoting lifelong values of commitment to service and civic engagement among Lawrence communities by serving as a source of information and support for students, faculty, staff and the community. Staff aims to accomplish this by meeting with students one-on-one, facilitating communication between student service organizations through the Community Service and Engagement Committee of LUCC, and providing support to faculty interested in community based engagement. Activities supported by the VCSC include ongoing programs such as mentoring and tutoring services within the Fox Cities area, annual events in collaboration with student organizations, one-time service-oriented opportunities for both individuals and student organizations, and social justice educational programming to connect learning to service.
In keeping with the tradition of its founding as a student-led initiative, the VCSC is currently run by 14 student staff members with the support of three professional staff members.
