Give to CCBL
Why Give
A top priority of the University of North Florida is providing
students with rich, real-world opportunities that enhance their learning,
personal development, and community involvement while contributing to the greater
well-being of others.
At
UNF, community-based transformational learning provides students the
opportunity to directly participate in dynamic activities and experiences where
they can learn, while also serving the community.
You can make Community Engagement opportunities
accessible for all UNF students!
Impact on Jacksonville (16-17 Academic Year)
Students involved in Community Engagement
at UNF heavily invest their time and energy into the Northeast Florida Region
and beyond…
- 21,077
times UNF students were engaged in the community
- UNF students participated in 1,149 different Community
Engagement opportunities
- Their service represents over $22.5 million in economic value*
- Total recorded hours – 989,184
*Based on Independent Sector’s 2016 value of
volunteer time of $22.70 per hour in the state of Florida
Why this Matters
Community Engagement is not
only good for Northeast Florida it is great for UNF students. The more students
we can get involved in community engagement activities the more successful they
are.
- Retention
Rate - 13% higher than other students (based on 15-16 data)
Additionally, a rich and
diverse community engagement experience is an important feature of a UNF
education. Every day we are working to broaden and deepen community engagement
efforts at UNF and compare our progress to trends in the National Campus Compact’s
Annual survey.
