Look no further!
Service should be accessible. That's why we've compiled a list of service sites in the campus vicinity. Don't have access to a car? Bus schedule doesn't meet your needs? Never fear! We have an interactive map of walkable service sites happy to provide service opportunities to Willamette students!
Walkable Sites List
To volunteer at a site, follow the link provided for more information regarding the opportunity. If you need assistance in arranging a service opportunity, or if you have a large group interested in service, please don't hesitate to contact the CSL Office at service@willamette.edu. Also, don't forget that you can record your service hours to be entered to win a gift card to the Willamette Bistro!
