Join us for a VOLServe! The Jones Center for Leadership and Service sponsors monthly service opportunities each semester provided in partnership with various community agencies. VOLServe events give students the chance to network and interact with other students and community members while engaging in meaningful service and addressing community needs. VOLServe events are led by a Jones Center Ambassador who engages the participants in a meaningful reflection to wrap up the experience. Transportation is provided to and from campus.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please review the registration details in ServeUTK to see if the community partner has shared details about what to wear or bring and any other details about the service you will be doing.
For all service events, we recommend wearing close-toed shoes and long pants. You may want to wear clothing that can get wet or dirty, depending on the event. Please check the weather before you arrive and dress accordingly. In effort to practice sustainability, bring a reusable water bottle to use. We recommend filling it up before departing campus.
If you sign up for a service slot and you are unable to attend, please cancel your registration in ServeUTK at least 48 hours (two days) prior to your service day. Cancellations made after this date will not be accepted and students will be charged a $10 program fee. Our community partners have generously agreed to host us, and we want to be sure to give them an accurate number of volunteers. For more information, please our cancellation/no-show hold policy.
