Volunteer Social Service Courses
Activation of Social Responsibility and Volunteering Activities through Courses
- The courses are designed to facilitate social responsibility and volunteering activities of SNU students by breaking free from the campus-centered university education and strengthening the connection with local communities.
- The courses consist of Volunteer Social Service 1, Volunteer Social Service 2, and Volunteer Social Service 3 (1 credit for each course).
Planning and Operation of Activities in Connection with Volunteer Organizations and Institutions in Local Communities
- The courses are operated in four semesters in a year (spring/fall/summer/winter).
- Partnership has been formed to connect with various volunteer organizations and institutions in local communities (about 30 to 40 institutions).
- The management of the students’ volunteering activities, basic education, in-depth education, midterm evaluation meeting, and final evaluation meeting are planned and implemented.
Fostering Leaders Practicing Social Responsibility
- The students are helped to grow as leaders practicing social responsibility while cultivating a sense of community.
- In-stage Volunteer Social Service (VSS) curricula are provided depending on the accumulated experiences in the previous VSS activities to encourage continuous participation.
- About 6,320 students participated in the program through 380 courses between 2013 and 2020.
