Community Service Initiatives

Service Saturdays

Explore Your Passion.

Share Your Energy.

Be the Change.

The Service Saturdays Program is a gateway to volunteer opportunities in the Greater Ithaca area. There is simply no better opportunity at IC to match yourself with an organization that fosters personal and professional growth, while making a contribution to your community.

If you are from an organization in Tompkins County, and would like to request volunteer assistance, please contact austin@ithaca.edu at your earliest convenience. We will do our best to serve your needs!
