Student AffairsVolunteers at Faith and Spiritual Life support the work of the Chaplains in a number of ways. From peer outreach, assisting with running events, to running entire programs themselves, there are many opportunities for everyone.
Volunteer Opportunities
Running Programs - Responsible for running some of our less intensive programs, such as Lego in the Lobby and Knit Happens.
FSL Common Room - Our door is often open for drop ins at Mitchell 210, so we need volunteers to greet people and making them feel at home in our space.
