A brief description of the institution’s employee community service initiatives:
Elon has a Staff Volunteer Program. Regular full-time staff working 30+ hours per week are allowed up to sixteen (16) hours of paid volunteer service leave per calendar year. Volunteer service leave hours do not rollover from year to year and cannot be cashed out at the end of employment. The hours must be spent with one of six identified community partners.
Elon also offers Service Sabbaticals to university employees with two or more years of service. During sabbaticals, employees are relieved of their duties to the university for one month or less in order to work full-time for a community organization. Recipients continue to receive their university paychecks during their sabbaticals. It is expected that projects and organizations will have goals and principles consistent with the Elon University Mission Statement.
Any full-time university employee (with 2 or more years of service) who has a record of service to a community organization — and who has an idea of how his or her full-time service for one month will benefit that organization in a significant way — is welcome to apply for a Service Sabbatical.
