Here's the deal. We know that college students have caring hearts and want to give back - but it's not always easy to find opportunities. And if there is a cost connected to volunteering - that's even harder, because we know you don't always have a lot of cash on hand. Those things can make volunteering tough to do. So that's where Campus Connection comes in!

Campus Connection works to connect you with volunteer opportunities. And if there is a cost assocated with doing a volunteer project, you can apply for a mini-grant to cover what would otherwise be an out of pocket expense – you know, stuff like paint, building materials, supplies etc. – things that aren't covered by other resources available to you or your group.

It's a great and easy way to get involved in the community that you call home – whether it's 9 or 12 months of the year (and it's a great way to help fulfill any community service requirements you might have).

Campus Connection is brought to you by your United Way of Greater Rochester and is made possible thanks to the generous support of Time Warner Cable. Thanks for stopping by - we're excited to help you help others!
