Commitment to Community Service

Ongoing Community Service Opportunities

Community service is an extremely important part of athletics.  We are constantly asking for contributions from the community.  Our community service efforts help us give a little back. Secondarily, these projects aid in our public relations efforts.  Also, there are numerous awards and scholarships that we nominate our student-athletes for during the course of their careers, and community service plays a major role in our decision on who to nominate. 

We require that all teams participate in at least 2 community service project per year. We encourage you to participate in as many civic-minded organizations as you can.  The Athletic Academic Center (AAC) will serve as a clearinghouse for all community service.  It is YOUR responsibility to keep the Life Skills Coordinator updated with your community service activities.   There will be a computer database to track community service for each student-athlete.  This is necessary for awards, scholarships, resumes, etc.  It will be the student-athlete’s responsibility to make sure their file is kept up to date by keeping the AAC informed.  You will have access to this information at any time for resume purposes, etc.   In relation to earning Life Skills Credit, credit will be given to student-athletes for community service activities.  Please direct all questions regarding community service to the Life Skills Coordinator.

NOTE:  It is the student-athlete's responsibility to make sure he/she has received credit for an event/program.  Community service, approved outside projects, etc. must be communicated to the Life Skills Coordinator in order to receive credit.
