In 1999, a new service was added to the Department of Student Life within the Division of Student Affairs to provide a clearinghouse of volunteer community service opportunities to students, faculty and staff. Through the use of a Volunteer Directory and Volunteer Fairs, students link up with service agencies and learn citizenship in their own community. More than 88 social agencies are registered in the Directory and a total of 1,668 student contacts were made at the Volunteer Fairs. In addition, the Volunteer Center coordinates participation in service activities such as walk-a-thons and other community events in the Greater Cleveland area.
