Post-graduate Service Opportunities

Graduation should not mark the end of your community involvement and civic engagement. College is meant to be a gateway to the rest of life. The period of time immediately after graduation is unlike any another. Very few times in your life will you be able to make the kind of commitment and impact that you can make in a one- or two-year volunteer opportunity. It is the hope of post-grad volunteering that you can do something that you are truly passionate about. So you have to ask yourself:
Are you motivated by a desire to serve others, broaden your experience and knowledge of the world, or to make a difference in the lives of others? If you are, there are some questions to ask yourself before fully committing to an organization. Please download the link here, and read through the questions. These questions are here to help you decide if post-graduate service is right for you.
Here is where you can put all your ideas into action. In the " Where Are They Now" page, you can view where some LMU alums are volunteering now as well as some opportunities you can get involved with in the future.
Recently, The Catholic Network of Volunteer Service ranked Loyola Marymount University sixth place in the country at producing graduates who are committed to community service. To read more of the article, please follow the link by clicking here.
