The Life Skills Program places a great deal of emphasis on service. Students receive a variety of opportunities to engage in activities that allow them to contribute and serve others on campus and in the surrounding community.

These beneficial projects include Kids' Day Out/Kids' Night Out, a day of service leaf-raking project sponsored by the Student-Athlete Advisory Council, team community service programs and other initiatives to meet current needs.
