ABOUT HELLER SERVICE CORPS

Dear Students,

What will you give to others this year?  As Furman students we are given a lot: a superior education, beautiful campus, supportive community, and a devoted faculty and staff.  It is easy for us to get comfortable and forget about what lies beyond the Furman gates.  Although we are here at Furman as students first and foremost, we are also members of the greater community of Greenville.  Heller Service Corps recognizes that responsibility and develops connections between students and Greenville through numerous volunteer opportunities.

As a freshman at Furman I was searching for a way to continue my passion of volunteering with individuals with special needs.  Heller connected me with Camp Spearhead where I have been able to form remarkable relationships with outstanding individuals.  Heller enables hundreds of students every year to find their volunteering niche.  It is evident that Furman students are giving to the Greenville community, and receiving a lot in return as well.

Whether you are looking for a continuation of previous volunteer experience, or you've been wanting to give volunteering a try, there are countless opportunities waiting for you! Volunteering comes in many different forms, so whatever your passion may be we are bound to have the ideal opportunity for you.  In addition to reaching out to our partner organizations around Greenville, we hope you will also join us for our beloved annual on campus events.

I invite you to join us this year in our mission to better the city of Greenville and give to those who call it home.

Sincerely,
Katelyn Ammons '12
Student Director
