Vikings Days of Service - Information for Employees

In the fall of 2019, SJR State’s College initiative, Vikings Days of Service, was launched. With this initiative, SJR State made a commitment to provide members of our campus community with two opportunities each year to engage and serve within our three counties.

The purpose of the Vikings Days of Service initiative is to:

• Provide SJR State students, faculty, and staff meaningful service opportunities intended to address identified community needs;
• Recruit a diverse cross-section of the College community and engage them as volunteers;
• Honor sacrifice & service and support a legacy of servant leadership; and,
• Provide SJR State students, faculty, and staff with opportunities for sustained service and ongoing community involvement

Every year, Vikings will Fall into Service in November and Spring into Service in March.

St. Johns River State College welcomes service project proposals from organizations and agencies operating within the College’s service district of Clay, Putnam, and St. Johns Counties. Such entities may include chambers of commerce; charitable organizations; civic organizations; cultural centers (libraries, museums, parks); educational organizations; faith-based organizations; healthcare organizations (hospitals, hospices, community health centers); and other service organizations. If your project is accepted for inclusion, SJR State will solicit volunteers to provide service hours on one of the Vikings Days of Service. 

Service project proposals are accepted all year. For a service project to be considered for a Fall into Service or Spring into Service event, proposals must be submitted at least 3 weeks before the day of the event so there is adequate time to promote the project and recruit volunteers.
