Benefits of Volunteering for Orientation
VIP - Volunteer Incentive Program
There are three ascending award levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Students enter the Program at the Bronze level and then, upon meeting the Bonze requirements, continue with Silver and then Gold. Each award level has set criteria.
In addition to the satisfaction gained from giving to their community, volunteers will receive well-deserved recognition for their accomplishments. For the Bronze, Silver and Gold levels, students must complete 20, 40, and 80 hours of volunteer service, respectively. Those who complete each level will be recognized at an annual Volunteer Incentive Program Awards Ceremony. Organizations participating in the VIP will benefit from the time and talents of well-rounded university students - and with an added impetus for students to volunteer, organizations may see an increase in their volunteer hours.
Moreover, by combining volunteerism with valuable life and career skills, participants will realize their potential as student leaders. The skills students acquire through the VIP will assist them in their personal and professional development.
