Volunteer Service opportunities are available throughout the year at William Jessup University. We offer many Jessup sponsored outings for ministries such as homeless ministry, street evangelism, non-profit service, tutoring, discipleship and more. Students are also given the freedom to find an appropriate volunteer position within a church, mission organization or other ministry.
Traditional full-time WJU students are required to achieve a set amount of Volunteer Service hours for their time at WJU.
Volunteer Service Requirements
30 hours of Volunteer Service are required for one half (1/2) of the semesters a student is enrolled full-time in the traditional undergrad program. Because our goal is to serve in the surrounding community, only 15 of the 30 hours can be given for an on-campus service opportunity. Service credits can also be attained over the summer. A student must submit a completed Volunteer Service Report Form at the end of each semester (or summer block) and turn it in NO LATER than the Friday before finals week for eligibility. Summer forms can be submitted up until the Fall add/drop deadline (about a week after school starts). Please note: volunteer service credit will not be granted for opportunities for which a student receives payment or academic credit. Refer to the chart below for the breakdown of Service Requirements by semesters attended.
If you enrolled before Fall 08: some ministries for which a student receives payment or academic credit may count towards Service Credit.
| Semesters at WJU (full time) | Christian Service Semesters Credits Required |
| 1-2 | 1 |
| 3-4 | 2 |
| 5-6 | 3 |
| 7-8 | 4 |
