Leadership Corps
Leadership Corps is a student-led organization primarily designed to connect IU 21st Century Scholars to volunteer opportunities that relate to their major(s), values, beliefs, and/or interests. Initially created for and by IU 21st Century Scholars, IU Volunteer Corps is now open to all undergraduate students attending IU Bloomington. Many civic and social activities are offered through the Leadership Corps, each of which is designed to enrich your educational experience as an IU 21st Century Scholar! As part of these initiatives, you can be expected to gain leadership and organizational skills, build a sense of community among peer volunteers, and foster friendships with other Scholars and students on campus. Leadership Corps annual events include IU Greening Cream and Crimson, Girls Inc. Holiday Hoopla, Stone Belt, Bloomington AIDS Walk, Kelley 5K, and the IU 21st Century Scholars Day. Volunteer Corps is a great way to meet other IU 21st Century Scholars and network in the Bloomington community. Questions about the organization can be sent to Marissa J. Cheplick at majachep@iu.edu.
