Community Service
Over 70% of Juniata students participate in Community Service. Students perform service in many ways: individually, through class, as part of their residence hall, or through the many student service organizations on campus such as Habitat for Humanity, Circle K, Phi Alpha, Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA), and the Juniata Active Volunteers Association (JAVA). Student organizations are supported with community contacts through the Community Service Office. Throughout the year, Juniata hosts many campus-wide service events, including American Red Cross Blood Drives, Special Olympics, as well as numerous service days which are run annually by students. In addition to local service, the Community Service Office offers service learning alternative break trips and weekend plunges to spur global action and awareness. In order to recognize the efforts of those students who consistently perform service, the Community Service Office coordinates transcript notation for those who perform at least 120 hours of non-paid, non-credit volunteer work over their college career. Students can begin tracking their service hours for service notation the fall semester of their freshman year and can count all service up until graduation, including summers. Information and materials to initiate the Community Service Notation are available in the Community Service Office.
