Volunteer Programs

Volunteer Programs connect students to a variety of community impact experiences in Carrollton and beyond. These experiences are designed to foster a community engaged campus through the promotion of self-discovery, servant leadership, and community service initiatives.

Our programs:

  • Build and maintain relationships with non-profit and for-profit community partners in Carroll, Douglas, Heard, Haralson, Coweta counties and the Atlanta-Metro area
  • Communicate one-time and ongoing community service projects and experiences held on- and off-campus
  • Provide small and large community service experiences and initiatives with a servant leadership focus
  • Offer educational experiences for students to learn the importance of serving, what it means, the impact it has, and how to grow into a servant leader!

Volunteer Ambassadors (VAs) inspire students to channel their passions and talents into meaningful community engagement. As leaders within the Volunteer Programs, they actively host, plan, and execute service projects both on and off campus, creating a positive and lasting impact. Housed within the Center for Student Involvement and Inclusion, these Ambassadors collaborate with local non-profits and campus partners to provide valuable opportunities for UWG students to serve the community.
