Semester-Long Volunteer Programs

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.

Semester-Long Programs:

CAVE offers 9 different semester-long volunteer programs in the local community. CAVE volunteers are enrolled in a 1-unit academic course where they provide 30 hours of service in 10 weeks (about 3 hours per week), attend a community engagement workshop, and submit short papers reflecting on their service. Semester-long programs are perfect if you are looking for an extended volunteer opportunity where you can gain experience and work in the community. Programs are offered at a variety of days/times, locations, and organizations. Click on the links below to learn more about our programs.
