Members are paid to work two to four hours per week to support our programming. If you are interested in any of these positions, please contact Debbie Clark at dclark@carthage.edu.
Random Acts of Kindness and Service Community Builders
CFS staff partner with other student organizations to bring some random acts of kindness across campus. Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day, holidays, special days, or just because — changing the campus one kind act at a time. Team members also coordinate service projects throughout the academic year. These may include Red Cross Blood drives in fall and spring, and a winter end-of-the-year food drive for local food pantries. Information on other events can be found all around campus and on The Bridge and The Harbor.
