Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The Gephardt Institute for Civic and Community Engagement previously tracked metrics on student and employee volunteerism, but no longer does so.
As a result of COVID, the university stopped all in-person volunteer programs.
The data provided for # of students who volunteered is based on the WashU PULSE survey, which included questions like: Have you volunteered in the community (not as part of a course) during your time at WashU. About 1200 students responded to the survey; 46% reported having volunteered in the community while at WashU.
WashU has many resources to support community-engaged teaching and student volunteerism. Numerous student groups offer volunteer opportunities. The Gephardt Institute trains students and faculty on creating meaningful engagements with community partners and provides pathways for responsible interactions with the community. The Campus Y typically facilitates nearly 600 students volunteering over 20,000 hours a year. In FY21, because of COVID restrictions, Campus Y only hosted 17 programs with a total of 236 students involved with 8,730 hours tracked, as they were not permitted to program in person.
