Volunteer Service Award

Now more than ever, service is necessary to tackle the most pressing issues of our times. Western recognizes students who demonstrate an exemplary commitment to service with the Western Volunteer Service Award, which distinguishes, celebrates, and inspires community service leaders and volunteers to lead the charge. Western students are invited to apply and be recognized by our institution for being active community volunteers.
