For over 18 years, the college has hosted Jumpstart as a way to help freshmen transition into college.
People should volunteer because they want to make a difference that reflects their hopes and their ideals.
Incoming freshmen immersed into the Ithaca community with Jumpstart, which spanned the weekend before classes began.
There are 8,760 hours in a year. For the average college student, those hours are spent working, hanging out with friends and doing homework. However, for students who participate in Service Saturdays, more than 1,700 of those hours are spent doing community service.
