What does being a Volunteer mean to you? How has UT empowered you to make a difference in a way you might not have imagined elsewhere?
Being a Volunteer means bringing UT students and those with disabilities together through programs that promote positive, meaningful, and therapeutic learning experiences. These programs promote the Volunteer spirit by fostering a community-service and advocacy mentality within UT students. UT has empowered me to make a difference by supporting the service-learning opportunities and outreach programs that provide a diverse and profound impact within our campus and East Tennessee community.
