Volunteering and philanthropy K-State students know how to give back. Many organizations exist on campus to help you find ways to pay it forward, ranging from raising funds for those in need or working with others on a service project. K-State Proud: Students helping students This student-led, nationally recognized fundraising campaign is guided by the Student Foundation and encourages students to show their K-State pride through philanthropy. In the first six years, students raised more than $550,000 to help their fellow students. All student campaign donations establish Student Opportunity and K-State Hero awards for K-State students. All K-State Proud awards provide financial assistance for students with extreme financial need or who need temporary assistance. K-State Hero Awards provide recognition for K-State students who have demonstrated exceptional commitment and dedication to improving the K-State community. Five awards of $500 are allocated each semester. To learn more, visit k-stateproud.org Other opportunities for service HandsOn K-State creates opportunities to volunteer, learn and lead in the community. Students can volunteer with campus and community organizations to provide service for programs and projects. Volunteers may sign up as individuals or participate in large-scale events. International service teams are made up of interdisciplinary students who serve in communities around the world during their summer breaks. Students work with international partners to plan and implement service projects during an eight- to 10-week stay in their country. Alternative spring breaks are an opportunity for students to participate in an intense service experience during their spring and winter breaks or over a weekend. Participants travel to communities around the country, working with residents to address a pressing social issue. The academic mentoring program trains and places K-State students in local schools and organizations to promote and support family literacy efforts and youth-related programming.
