Service Coaching offers CSU Rams the opportunity to dig deeper and explore local volunteer opportunities based on individual interests and needs.  Coaching sessions occur either in person or virtually.  A Community Support Specialist individually meets with you and shares a handful of local non-profits meeting your interests and needs.  Though the Community Support Team does not contact non-profits for you, nor ensures you complete any required service hours you may have (if you have any), they try to set you up for success in making meaningful connections and experiencing smooth transitions from the start.
