Civic Engagement is an integral part of life at Lamar University. We empower students to be active citizens through volunteering and service learning. We partner with local non-profit organizations to provide opportunities for growth and giving for Cardinal Nation.
Our office provides service opportunities for students that can be as short as one afternoon or as long as a semester or academic year. We're here to help you individually or as a student organization to identify and achieve your service goals.
