The Office of Community Service and Learning

What We Do - The Boiler Volunteer Network helps students, student organizations, faculty, and staff find community engagement and service opportunities in Tippecanoe County and beyond. If you or your fraternity, sorority, cooperative, or student organization wants to get involved in volunteering email us or come to our office in Stewart Center, room G4.

Announcements
The Boiler Volunteer Network is proud to sponsor the 12th annual Project Move-Out. This program encourages students to recycle items that they might otherwise throw away as they move out for the summer. Donated items are donated to the clients of the local social service agencies listed below. Donated items may include usable clothes, furniture, food, books, dishes, shoes, cleaning supplies, laundry soap, linens, winter coats, luggage, room decorations, and electronics.

We invite all students to donate their unwanted items when they move out at the end of the year. Donated items may be delivered to the Purdue Armory (University Street between 3rd and 4th Streets) on Friday, May 4th and Saturday, May 5th between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., on Sunday, May 6th between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon, and on Monday, May 7th between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

We need volunteers to help sort and organize the donations as they arrive at the Armory on those dates and times.  Volunteers may work in one-hour shifts. Please contact the Boiler Volunteer Network if you or your group is interested in volunteering during those times.
