The WFU Volunteer Service Corps was founded in 1989 by a small group of students. The program was originally housed in the Chaplain’s office and was supervised by a part-time “volunteer” coordinator. Read more »
Who We Are
We are a student run organization dedicated to furthering the University’s motto of “Pro Humanitate” by engaging students, faculty, and staff in meaningful volunteer service.
How We Work
We connect our campus with external agencies and service opportunities in order to develop a commitment to humanitarian values and civic responsibility. Functioning as a programming board, we organize educational and service opportunities for the Wake Forest community.
What We Believe
We believe that every volunteer experience is an opportunity to serve, learn, and act. Therefore, we challenge you to transform your moment of service into a lifetime of difference!

Volunteers
The VSC’s 40+ partner agencies need lots of volunteer support! Hundreds of Wake Forest students, faculty and staff serve these agencies throughout the year. Regular, sporadic, and one-time volunteer opportunities are always available. Any Wake Forest student that volunteers is a part of the VSC and we hope that volunteers will also be interested in holding a leadership position in the organization. If you are interested in volunteering, whether it be regular or at a one-time event, you can search for a volunteer opportunity in the “Get Involved” section of our web site. This is your chance to turn a moment of service into a life time of difference!
