Focuses on techniques to engage students in volunteer civic and community activities in a time when many interests (including life obligations) are competing for their time and strategies to embed attention to their emotional and mental health needs. Volunteering as healing is supported by research, and it even appears in the new Students Learn Students Vote Ask Every Student Academy and programs such as Fresh Check (both implemented at the author's institution). Facilitators will share research and personal experience of what works, and participants will have an opportunity to discuss individual successes and troubleshoot challenges.
