Applications Now Open for Volunteer Action Center Board
The Volunteer Action Center is currently seeking applicants for our 2022-23 board. Board members would join a group of around 50 service-minded students who work together to run our six signature programs. Each program has its own special focus, ranging from food insecurity to mentorship. Board members gain valuable volunteer and professional experience, and find themselves surrounded by like-minded, driven individuals also seeking to create positive change for our campus and community. For more information on each of our programs and a list of what positions are available, check out our website: Volunteer Action Center | #UARKthechange.
