Community Service Fairs

Center for Leadership and Civic Engagement

About

The Community Service Fairs are offered twice a year: at the beginning of the Fall and Spring semesters. The Fairs offer students an opportunity to interact with representatives from over 30 local non-profit organizations.

Past Agency Participation

Due to COVID-19, we are unable to host an on-campus fair this Fall. We are actively exploring alternative ways to connect students with Rochester's non-profit community.

Information for Agencies and Organizations

Representatives and organizations are encouraged to attend the RIT Community Service Fair where they can connect with RIT students directly. Space is limited so organizations must register in advance. If you require an electrical outlet for your set-up, please note that there is a very minimal amount available and you should put your request in as soon as possible to be considered for a position near one of the outlets. If your organization is interested in attending a fair, please contact Alex Tubridy at abtrli@rit.edu. Thank you in advance for your time!

Organization Category Definitions

Poverty, Food & Housing Security

Food insecurity refers to a lack of available financial resources for food at the level of the household. Housing insecurity is the lack of security in an individual shelter that is the result of high housing costs relative to income, poor housing quality, unstable neighborhoods, overcrowding, and/or homelessness.

Urban & Rural Development

Urban and rural development actions are intended to further the social and economic development of these communities. Urban and rural development aims at finding ways to improve lives with participation of people themselves, so as to meet the required needs of the communities.

Animal/Environmental Welfare

Animal welfare refers to the state of the animal; the treatment that an animal receives is covered by other terms such as animal care, animal husbandry, and humane treatment. Environmental welfare operates with the aim of promoting conservation and development, beneficial for both the population and the environment. This calls for a balance between human needs and the needs of the environment.

Health & Wellness

Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life. Wellness is more than being free from illness, it is a dynamic process of change and growth.

Education/School Programs

Education programs facilitate learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. Education frequently takes place under the guidance of educators, however learners may also educate themselves. Education may take place in formal or informal settings. School programs consist of any program directly or indirectly related to a classroom setting, such as after-school activities or classroom helpers.
