What We Do
The Volunteer & Service-Learning Center (VSLC) 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.
