Make an Impact Through Community Service

At VCU, community engagement is a key part of our mission. Faculty and staff members have unique opportunities to give back, build connections, and apply their expertise to support the community.

Eligible faculty and staff receive up to 16 hours of paid Community Service Leave annually to volunteer with schools and community organizations. University and Academic Professionals (UAP) receive an additional 16 hours for VCU-sponsored projects.
