A Culture Of Service To Our Community
At MiraCosta Community College we value our community and service to others as an opportunity to help students build cultural and social capital. The Service Learning & Volunteer Center helps students connect to service opportunities and helps students track their volunteer hours. Students who document and submit proof of hours to the Service Learning & Volunteer Center can receive recognition for their service upon completing 50-99 or 100+ hours. When students volunteer, their service hours can be used to apply for scholarships. Students can also use their volunteer experience to enhance their transfer applications and to explore various career paths.
