The Impact of Service with Elon Volunteers! EV! teaches you what no classroom can. I learned how multifaceted social issues can be and the importance of viewing communities from multiple perspectives. I’m grateful for the relationships I have been able to build here.

Through EV!, I’ve developed an ethic of service that goes beyond the superficial and dives deep into the systemic issues within communities. Through direct service, leading other students, and discussions of social justice, EV! has been a consistent home for me to grow personally, academically, and professionally.
