Our Initiatives

Get Your 10

Get Your 10 is a membership program developed to encourage students to perform acts of community service throughout an academic year. By reaching 10 service hours, can become a member of the VAC. Be sure to log your hours in GivePulse!

Get Your 10 Week

Get Your 10 Week is a new initiative by the Volunteer Action Center designed to connect students with different student programs and to create a community on campus. This week-long programming provides an opportunity for students to learn about different groups on campus while engaging with service!

Find Your Impact

Join us for an orientation session that invites RSOs and agencies to come to campus and speak with students to share their mission and how to get involved! This is a great opportunity for expanding your knowledge on the spotlighted agency or RSO. For more information and sign up times, contact vacvol@uark.edu

Make a Difference Day

Join us as a Project Leader or general volunteer on one of the largest days of service in the state of Arkansas! This campus-wide day of service takes place every October as we partner with local agencies from all over the Northwest Arkansas region to develop and fulfill service projects. From farm clean-ups to stocking shelves at the Jane B. Gearhart Full Circle Food Pantry, or even serving a full shift at the Animal Shelter-MADD has something for every volunteer.
