About Us

The Volunteer & Service-Learning Center is dedicated to providing service and service-learning opportunities for UVU students, faculty, and staff. Through programs and projects in the classroom, the community, and the world, the Center works to increase social and cultural awareness, build a sense of community commitment, and extend meaningful educational opportunities that increase knowledge and enhance academic skill.

The Volunteer & Service-Learning Center opened in the Sorensen Student Center in 1993. As the needs of the Center expanded, Volunteer and Service Learning began to reach out to academic departments on campus to increase its ability to provide greater connections between service and learning. In 2001, the Center opened in its current incarnation. The partnership that now exists between academics and student life is unique on campus and represents a great opportunity to enhance and increase available services to students, faculty, and the community.

In support of the mission, the Volunteer & Service-Learning Center works with students, faculty, and staff to provide opportunities and support in the following areas:

• Academic service-learning
• Student leadership development (Student Service Council)
• National and international humanitarian outreach (Service Expeditions)
• Local community outreach
• AmeriCorps
• Service-Learning Distinction program
