Volunteer Opportunities - St. Norbert College

building

“Giving frees us from the familiar territory of our own needs by opening our mind to the unexplained worlds occupied by the needs of others.”

- Barbara Bush

SNC has a long history of service reflective of St. Norbert who left his life of privilege for service to others, eventually establishing the Norbertine Order. In 1898 the Norbertines founded St. Norbert College. We invite all St. Norbert students and employees to join in this tradition of service by participating in the many service activities offered throughout the year by a variety of people and groups across campus.

In addition to maintaining this list of opportunities, we also administer a service listserve that includes community service opportunities as we hear of them. We welcome anyone with service need to contact us and we will get the word out through the listserve

This isn't an inclusive list, but we'd like it to be. If you know of something else going on around campus that invites others to join, let us know.
