BonaServes: Making Volunteering Fun!

Volunteering can be great fun, but all too many people think it is not for them or that they are too busy to help. This might be because they have never done it, or because they do not know where to start. BonaServes aims to end this problem by creating a place to find where to volunteer around campus and around the town plus a place to find out more about volunteering both locally (St. Bonaventure University) and globally.

Student Solidarity Networks | Common Ground Collective

From Common Grounds one of the site we worked with on eth BONARESPONDS trip

Student Solidarity Networks | Common Ground Collective: "Each spring, students throughout the country are liberated from their 
academic obligations. They leave campus, throwing away furniture, 
rugs, appliances, and electronics. Each fall, bright-eyed first years 
arrive to institutional and empty dorms. They buy new furniture, rugs, 
appliances and electronics. Save the environment, raise funds for 
Common Ground and score some loot for yourselves by collecting dorm 
stuffings in the spring, cleaning them in the summer and selling them 
to first years in the fall. 
"

Financial Literacy: CPAs Can Make a Difference

I bet you hadn't heard about this! It is another project that SusanAnders (accounting professor) is doing. She is also instrumental for the VITA program.


Financial Literacy: CPAs Can Make a Difference:
"SEPTEMBER 2005 - Financial literacy, the ability to effectively evaluate and manage one’s finances in order to make prudent decisions toward reaching life goals—basically, knowing what is necessary to achieve financial goals—is much in the news."
