The
Volunteer Center, run by
two student co-directors,
works to connect PLU with the community, as well as, plan all-campus
events. With hundreds agencies on file, the Volunteer Center provides
information about specific volunteer opportunities for students,
faculty, and staff. Conversely, the agencies on file repeatedly seek
PLU volunteers through the Volunteer Center. The Volunteer Center is an
integral part of the Center for Public Service. To find out other
opportunities available to students, check out the

Mission Statement
As demonstrated by the PLU mission statement, "Educating for Lives
of Thoughtful Inquiry, Leadership, Service, and Care," service is a key
part of Pacific Lutheran University's goal. Taking this to heart, many
professors are beginning to incorporate service learning in their
curriculum. This allows students to experience the world through
service and connect it to their academic studies. Aside from class
requirements, however, many students seek volunteering opportunities on
a personal basis simply to enhance their lives and the lives of others.
