How do I find Service Hours:

Service activities extend your learning beyond your coursework.  This page can help you get started and find a project that you enjoy.

• Select a cause: There are hundreds of organizations that could use a volunteer like you. To find the right project for you, first decide what type of cause you’d like to support. Maybe it’s working with animals, helping the homeless, or mentoring fellow students. 

• A great local opportunity would be to volunteer for the Fair Haven 

Be a Good Neighbor Program designed to assist members of our elderly community. 

• Use your skills to help others: Consider your skills and expertise when deciding on a community service project. 

• Create your own project: Didn’t find what you’re looking for? Consider creating your own community service project. 

• Get involved in the community!  Contact Monmouth County Library, see if there is a beach clean-up in your area, or work with Dermer Dreams or Be a Good Neighbor.
