Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The numbers submitted in this data point are incomplete. It is difficult to track the number of students participating in community service because students often take the initative in pursuing engagement opportunities. The Draper Center for Community Parnterships helps to facilitate connections and to nurture a developed lens for pursuing service, but it does not actively track service opportunities and participation. The numbers listed here come from a small number of highly institutionlalized programs and are a gross understimate of campus participation in community service. Among the programs that students participate in are a Food Rescue program, through which student volunteers take prepared left-over food from the dining halls to local shelters or community organizations; partners with a local middle school for the Theatre for Young Audiences Program; Pomona Partners a mentoring program for kids grades 6-9; participates in America Reads; Challah for Hunger; and a group in support of the DREAM ACT.
