What?
FSU is committed to educating engaged citizens who will impact their communities at home and abroad. Sustained service is one way to serve in the community while gaining experience related to personal, professional, and academic goals. Sustained service experiences vary in length from one week to two or more years. Students who choose to participate in sustained service can serve across the country and around the world at a wide variety of non-profit agencies.
So What?
Sustained service experiences provide students with an opportunity to learn about themselves and the world through service. Students can learn about a new culture or language, build relationships in a new community, and contribute to an area of community need. Sustained service experiences are opportunities to learn while creating positive sustainable change around the world.
