No Witsie should exit the University without a strong sense of how he or she can actively contribute to the development of society through the proper exercise of his or her rights and responsibilities as a citizen. Volunteering is an integral part of student life at Wits. The WCCO provides students with real-world experiences and the opportunity to enhance their learning and civic responsibility while addressing community needs. You can work as a volunteer on campus, in your community or in other communities, with children, youth or the aged, for causes as diverse as sustainable development, literacy, social justice, child welfare, the fight against poverty, animal rights or disability awareness. SRC, clubs & societies & the WCCO
The work of WCCO can shape how you: • interact with your community • define public problems • develop your social skills and value systems • apply your knowledge • become a responsible citizen. The WCCO recommends a time commitment of at least two hours per week. Volunteer time could however be just once a month, or for a special event. It is totally up to you to get involved. We also encourage students to initiate their own projects to meet a variety of needs. There’s a wide range of community engagement projects, led by students.
