Community Service Award
The Civil Rights Heritage Center Community Service Award recognizes Indiana University South Bend students who demonstrate an understanding of the values of personal responsibility and a commitment to community service. Current undergraduate students, incoming freshmen and transfer students may apply.
Recipients of the Community Service Award, while maintaining enrollment at Indiana University South Bend, must agree to take an active volunteer role in the work of the Civil Rights Heritage Center in its mission to promote "a better understanding of individual responsibility, race relations, social change, and minority achievement" in the Michiana community. Each award recipient must contact the Civil Rights Heritage Center at Indiana South Bend to arrange an appropriate volunteer assignment. Successful participation as a student volunteer is determined primarily by periodic assessment by the director of the Civil Rights Heritage Center and successful completion of assignments.
Applications for the Civil Rights Heritage Center Community Service Award should be completed by April 1 and October 15 and can be downloaded by clicking here.
