The first Bruins Give Back volunteer service event of Kellogg Community College’s Spring 2020 semester will be held from 9 a.m. to noon Friday, Feb. 21, at the Charitable Union in Battle Creek.
A campus-wide service initiative of the College’s Service-Learning office, Bruins Gives Back brings KCC students and employees together in service through volunteering at locations in and around Battle Creek.
During this month’s event, KCC volunteers will help the Charitable Union organize donations. The organization is located at 85 Calhoun St.
Bruins Give Back is held from 9 a.m. to noon on Fridays up to three times per semester, and past events have been located at elementary schools, community gardens and at various locations on campus at KCC, to name a few.

About Service-Learning at KCC
KCC began offering service-learning endorsements on graduate diplomas in 2010. Beginning in 2012, a service-learning endorsement requiring at least 15 hours of service-learning experience tied to an academic course and reflection activities became a requirement for every KCC graduate pursuing a degree outside of the applied sciences. Now hundreds of KCC students serve thousands of hours in their communities each semester as part of their service-learning studies. To date, 4,442 service-learning endorsements have been earned by KCC graduates, and 343 service-learning endorsements were earned during the 2018-19 academic year alone.
