COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: The Big Picture

It is our goal for Alliance students to build stronger ties to the campus community, create new friendships, and gain valuable volunteer experiences that may apply to their personal and/or professional goals. By participating in Community Involvement, students have the opportunity to:

  • Create contacts for potential jobs and internships
  • Interact with CSULB peers, staff and faculty members
  • Enhance communication, organizational and interpersonal skills
  • Develop new friendships
  • Increase awareness and connection with campus and community resources
  • Foster leadership abilities and develop other professional skills

Want to Do Additional Service?

The CSULB campus constantly contacts the Learning Alliance to provide volunteers.  If you want to do more service than what we require, considering signing up for:

  • Student Research Competition – learn about research opportunities on campus while timekeeping presentations on Friday, March 7th, 12 noon – 4 pm
