Community Action Volunteers in Education lovingly referred to as CAVE is a student led, student run organization that provides Chico State students with meaningful service opportunities. CAVE partners with local non-profit agencies to provide one-time and semester-long volunteer opportunities.
CAVE’s Weekend Wildcat program provides one-time volunteer opportunities for Chico State Students to work with a variety of local agencies. If you have limited availability, Weekend Wildcat events are perfect you to give back to your community. Weekend Wildcats are typically Saturdays from 9am-12pm. Learn more about Weekend Wildcat events for Spring 2023 here.
CAVE offers 11 different semester-long volunteer programs in the local community. CAVE volunteers are enrolled in a 1-unit academic course where you provide 30 hours of service in 10 weeks (about 3 hours per week), attend a community engagement workshop, and submit short papers reflecting on your service. Semester-long programs are perfect if you are looking for an extended volunteer experience where you can gain experience and work in the community. Programs are offered at a variety of days/times, locations, and organizations.
