Service Links
Because much of the reading we do in
the composition courses at UCR examines social and cultural issues,
I offer this page of links to local, national, and international
service opportunities in the hope that some of you may choose to
translate your intellectual engagement with these issues into a
more tangible and personal involvement. You can always talk to me
or email me for advice and support in your pursuit of community
service opportunities, but you may want to start by browsing through
some of the resources posted here.
If you find other useful links or have
trouble with these links, please let me know: jim_sullivan@mac.com
UCR
The logical place for a UC Riverside student to
begin finding out more about community service is UCR's own
program. Check out UCR's Campus and Community
Service Program. Here you will find an impressive
array of information about opportunities to contribute to your
campus and local communities.
