What's V-station?
Volunteer and Civic Activity Center V-station is the place that connects students who want to do activity but worring about it, or who want to do something but have no idea how to do it, and local people (citizens) who want to borrow the power of students. The activities introduced by V-station cover a wide variety of fields, including activities centered on interacting with people such as the elderly, people with disabilities, and children, as well as activities such as cleaning activities, environmental conservation, and international support. Also, since you will mainly be working outside the university, it will be an opportunity to turn your attention to the society around you. And you should be able to have fresh experiences such as meeting new values, meeting working people and other university students. We, V-station, encourage volunteer activities as an opportunity to further enhance daily student life. |
