Leadership & Service Opportunity

The Brown Center of Leadership and Service would like to present you and your students with a wonderful opportunity to serve the Gainesville community through our annual Summer Plunge Day of Service. Summer Plunge is a day when our volunteers branch out all over the Gainesville area to different organization sites to provide beneficial service to the community. Volunteers can participate in a variety of services that range from working with animals, working with the elderly, alleviating environmental issues and many more interesting activities. Please consider participating in this event and making a positive impact on the Gainesville community. The event will take place on July 23^rd from 8am to 1pm.

Volunteer registration takes place from June 27^th - July 20^th. Please see the Summer Plunge page of The Brown Center for Leadership and Service website for more details.

Individuals seeking leadership opportunities can also sign up to be site leaders. Site leaders gain important leadership and facilitation experiences and are essential for the success of Summer Plunge! Training will be provided to include skills on volunteer motivation and reflection. This opportunity is open to undergraduate and graduate students, staff, faculty, and community members. Site leader applications are open from June 20^th - July 4^th.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Laura Guzman at LauraGu@Leadershipandservice.ufl.edu.
