Service Learning and Volunteerism

Service learning and volunteer activities at Quincy College are designed to: facilitate the engagement of students and staff in activities where some service or good work is performed; address or meet a college or community need; allow students to learn about how their service makes a difference in themselves and in the lives of the service recipients; and/or connect service activities to academic learning. For questions or more information regarding Service Learning and Volunteerism, contact the Office of College and Community Development at 617-984-1647.

Clothing Drives In an effort to help those in need during the cold winter months, Quincy College holds a clothing drive, known on campus as "Operation Cover Up." This clothing drive encourages employees at the College to donate warm jackets, sweaters, and vests. This year, Quincy College delivered more than 150 coats to the Saint Francis House in Boston. Saint Francis House will distribute the articles of clothing to those in need in the Greater Boston area.
Salvation Army In the spirit of giving, members of Quincy College’s faculty and staff give up their valuable time to help raise money for the Salvation Army’s annual Holiday Kettle fundraising campaign. Many thanks are due to all those who participate in the collection activities and to those students who donate their money for this great cause. Quincy College also collects cans of non-perishable foods for donation to the Salvation Army of Quincy.
Operation Interdependence The Quincy College community, in an effort to demonstrate its gratitude to our brave men and women fighting for our freedom, has joined forces with the Tri-City Council of the Navy League of the United States to launch Operation Interdependence. This campaign involves each member of our community to create care packages each month, which are then sent to a particular deployed unit stationed overseas. These packages contain everyday items that we might take for granted, but would bring the comforts of home to our troops.
Asian New Year Festival Quincy's Asian New Year Festival highlights countries, cultures and music from throughout Asia. Sponsored by Quincy Asian Resources Inc., a non-profit economic development agency, the event features a variety of offerings for all ages to celebrate this important holiday for the Asian community. Quincy College is a proud sponsor of the festival.
Quincy Center Fall Festival Members of the faculty and staff participate in the annual Quincy Harvest Festival held in downtown Quincy Center during the month of October. Last year, Quincy College won the crowd over with sweet apple cider sorbet and free balloons for the kids.
Flag Day Parade Founded in 1952, the City of Quincy organizes the longest-running National Flag Day Parade. This celebration features military bands, drum corps, color guards, specialty units and flag-waving youngsters. Quincy College takes pride in participating in this annual patriotic event. Last year, the College served over 500 people during a hot dog barbecue at the parade's starting point.
"America Reads Challenge" Since 1997, numerous colleges and universities have joined the America Reads Challenge, a reading and family literacy tutoring effort. Quincy College is proud to be one of these colleges that has risen to the Challenge. Our community participates in the America Reads program by employing its work-study students as reading tutors for kindergarten and first grade students.
United Way Each year, Quincy College calls upon its employees to contribute money to help the United Way. In 2003, 34 public employees at Quincy College donated nearly $8,500, representing an increase over last year’s total by more than a thousand dollars. The contributions, ranging from $20 to $1500, are presented to the United Way of Massachusetts Bay.
