What We Do

Service-Learning & Volunteer Resources (SLVR) facilitates ACU students' and employees' involvement in service in the Abilene Area. 

Some of the ways we do this include:

• Providing information about service/volunteer opportunities in the Abilene community and on campus with over 100 different opportunities listed in our Volunteer Opportunities Registry. 
• Organizing special service events and projects.
• Inviting the ACU community, as well as others, to use the opportunities registry as a key resource for local volunteer needs.

SLVR is a part of ACU's Center for Christian Service & Leadership.

Resources We Offer  

Additional Resources for Students

• Maintain individual Student Service Records to have as a resource upon graduation.
• Provide technical assistance to service projects with student groups. 
• Advising and leadership development for student organizations: Service Action Leadership Team (SALT) and Treadaway Kids.
