Join Elon Volunteers for an interest meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 10 from 5 to 6 p.m.
One of the many things that makes Elon University such a special place is its deep commitment to service and community engagement, including Elon Volunteers! (EV!), the university’s hub for service housed in the Kernodle Center for Civic Life.
Elon Volunteers! is an organization of students dedicated to making a difference while also growing as leaders, teammates and compassionate individuals.EV! empowers more than 125 student leaders to coordinate service programs across a wide variety of issues and interests. Whether you are passionate about education, the environment, hunger and homelessness, healthcare, or another cause, there is an EV! program designed to match your passion. From weekly service opportunities to one-time events and immersive Alternative Breaks, EV! makes it easy to get connected and take that first step toward meaningful engagement.
The true impact of Elon Volunteers! goes far beyond logging service hours, it can genuinely shape the course of your college career.
“EV has honestly been one of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had at Elon. It has given me an amazing community, a purpose and the chance to make a real impact. It’s an organization where you get the chance grow and thrive. If you’ve ever thought about getting involved, I highly encourage you to come to the interest meeting! You might just find your place too,” said Megan DeMarco ’26, the coordinator for Campus Kitchen.
At its core, EV! is about connection: to the community, to your peers, and to yourself. Through service, you discover how your talents, skills, and passions can be used to address real social issues, all while gaining insight into who you are and who you want to become.
