Mission Statement


To empower and aid the Drew community to volunteer on and off campus, to provide another dimension to the “Drew experience,” and to connect the benefits of service with a liberal arts education.

We intend to do this by:

  • Encouraging the formation and support of campus volunteer organizations, helping them work together, facilitating communication between them, and providing training to executive board members in areas they deem helpful
  • Serving as a clearinghouse of on-and-off campus volunteer organizations for students, faculty, and staff looking for long-term or one-time volunteer opportunities and matching them with organizations based on their skills, needs, and desires
  • Aiding offices, clubs, and organizations in finding long-term or one-time volunteer opportunities that accentuate their mission statements and provide meaningful experiences to their members
  • Providing information on the procedures of the Volunteer Resource Center, forms, and volunteer opportunities via the internet to make the process as easy and convenient as possible
  • Working and communicating with appropriate campus offices and departments to attain the Volunteer Resource Center’s mission statement
  • Creating life-long commitment to community service within individuals
  • Building alumni/ae connections
  • Providing information to individuals of the Drew community through weekly listings of volunteer
