I work a full-time job while attending school, can I still participate in community service activities?
Since most community college student work, we do our best to schedule our community service activities at different hours to make it easier for our members to participate. We hold events during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends. For an updated list of events please check our calendar and sign up by emailing [email protected]!
