Fall 2019 CAVE Volunteer Applications and Service Learning Packets are due Friday, September 13th by 5pm

*Important Updates for TB Tests as of August, 2019*

Due to a national shortage of TB Tests, the Chico State Health Center currently has a limited supply of TB Tests.  The Chico Health Center is still doing TB Assessments free for students. 

If you are volunteering in a Chico Unified School District classroom, you will only need a documentation of a negative TB Assessment to be cleared by CAVE.

However, if you answer “yes” to any questions of the TB Assessment, you will need documentation of a negative TB Test to be cleared by CAVE.  If you live in Butte County, Enloe Hospital and Butte County Public Health still have TB Tests at a cost if you can’t get one at the Health Center. Please see the chart below for more information on local agencies that still have TB Tests.

 If you live in another county: Please check the requirements to volunteer with your placement as they may vary slightly.  When you confirm the requirements, check your nearest California State University Student Health Center and your local Public Health office and to see if they have TB Assessment and/or Tests available and at what cost.  The Student Health Center fees that all Chico State students pay allow students to access all Student Health Center services at other campuses. Use this website to learn more and find a CSU Student Health Center near you. (https://rce.csuchico.edu/online/health).

*EDTE 255 Learning packets are due Friday, September 6^th by 5pm. 

Community Action Volunteers in Education (CAVE) works with various University courses that have a service learning component to place students with our existing partners. This is an excellent opportunity to get experience with the theories discussed in class while serving a community need in a classroom or a community-based organization. We look forward to working in partnership with you, your course instructor and your placement site.
