Ways to Celebrate National Student Volunteer Day

By participating in service projects, volunteers can make a huge impact on their communities. Here are a few ways you can celebrate this day, both on February 20th and throughout the rest of the year.

1. Help a local animal shelter

There are many ways for us to help animal shelters. You can do is to be a volunteer at a nearby animal shelter. One of the closest facilities to Agnes Scott is PAWS Atlanta, which is a no-kill shelter for dogs and cats. If you can't go to an off-campus animal shelter, you can also start a small fundraising activity, such as selling cupcakes to raise some money. Another thing you can do is make some cat or dog toys to donate to a shelter.

2. Sign up to be a tutor with Mind Bubbles

Mind Bubble is a nonprofit organization that provides free tutoring services to students throughout the Atlanta area. On Wednesdays, there are some tutoring sessions on Agnes Scott's campus at the Bullock Science Center from 6:15-8:15.
