Thoughtful, committed citizens volunteer in State College
Students in State College dedicate their time to more than just academics. Some take the opportunity to offer their services as volunteers. Many organizations throughout the community are continually looking for help.

"We can always, always, always use more volunteers," said Wendy Jo Ivicic, director of Therapeutic Recreation and Volunteer Services at The Fairways at Brookline Village.
