Community Service

Employee Engagement

Permanent employees receive 24 hours of paid Community Service Leave annually to volunteer with schools, non-profits, and community service organizations. Leave is prorated for permanent part-time employees. Hours do not roll over, so use them before the end of the year! Note: CSL may not be used for the required vacation/personal leave days when the University is closed for Winter Break.

  • Involvement in a child's school
  • Tutoring and mentoring in schools (36 hours per year)
  • Volunteer activity in schools or a community service   organization
