"Volunteering does more than help others — it builds real-world skills, expands your network, and can open doors to career paths you might not have considered. The program also encourages you to think critically about social issues and what it means to be a responsible community member."
UHCL's Community Engagement program helps students volunteer their time, talents, and skills. You can serve on your own, with friends, or through a club or organization. The program helps you take meaningful action in your community, look at social issues, and practice civic leadership. Contact the Center for Student Engagement at 281-283-2560 or engagement@uhcl.edu to learn more.
