The Community Service Connection strives to enhance student learning by providing UTPA students with service and volunteerism opportunities that promote awareness of community needs while engaging students in meaningful action.

Our goal is to stimulate a change within UTPA students to produce an outcome that not only addresses community needs, but also allows students to gain important life skills. We do this by:

• Connecting students and student organizations to service and volunteerism opportunities on campus and within the local community
• Facilitating a connection between UTPA students and community organizations and agencies seeking volunteers
• Promoting and implementing service projects on and off campus
• Providing a quality Alternative Break experience for participants
