Office of Volunteer and Service Learning Program
The Volunteer & Service Learning Program (VSLP) is a key initiative within the Efferson Student Union & Activities (ESUA) at Florida A&M University (FAMU). Our mission is to engage students in leadership development and service-learning opportunities that drive transformative learning experiences and promote social change. VSLP is inclusive, welcoming all FAMU students regardless of their background, major, or status. Through our programs, students and staff come together to share diverse perspectives, ask critical questions, and create meaningful community impact. What We Offer for FAMU Students Leadership Development & Training: We provide leadership development and training programs designed to cultivate the next generation of FAMU leaders. By participating in volunteering and service-learning opportunities, students enhance their leadership skills while making a positive impact on their communities. Community Service & Volunteer Opportunities: Our enriching community service programs connect students with meaningful volunteer opportunities in Tallahassee and the surrounding areas. These experiences allow students to contribute to community welfare while gaining valuable life skills. Service Learning Integration: We help students integrate service learning into their academic and extracurricular experiences. This approach combines academic study with community service, offering students practical application of their knowledge and skills. Volunteer Hour Documentation: VSLP offers a system for documenting community service and volunteer hours on the Rattler Record or a dedicated volunteer transcript. This official record helps students showcase their commitment to service when applying for jobs, internships, or further education. Student Leadership Opportunities: We seek students who are passionate about service and willing to lead. These student leads take charge of various projects, stepping outside their comfort zones to make a significant difference. Awards and Acknowledgements: Receive recognition for outstanding service, leadership, and commitment to VSLP, with awards for students who go above and beyond in accumulating service hours, attending events, and supporting VSLP initiatives.
