Our office aims to provide on-campus opportunities for students to learn leadership and service. To fulfill that goal, we encourage organizations to fill out the forms below to request service events or presentations about community involvement, facilitated by Jones Center Ambassadors (JCAs).
Service Requests:
Want to serve with your organization or group? The Jones Center for Leadership & Service is here to help! Submit the Service Request Form if your group would like to:
- Meet with the JCLS to discuss best practices for planning a service event that satisfies the JCLS Service Guidelines.
- Meet with the JCLS for help creating and managing service events in ServeUTK
- Request a JCA to help plan and facilitate a tailored service experience for your UTK group or organization based on your group’s availability, interests, and size.
If you want to do service individually or don’t have a specific date in mind, visit ServeUTK to find volunteer opportunities on the ServeUTK calendar!
Note: If you are a community partner or agency and you have an upcoming service event you would like to share, find more information on our partnership opportunities page.
