VCS is a student run, student based, and student oriented service. VCS provides a key link between the community and Stony Brook University when it comes to service. We provide students with information on over 200 organizations on and off campus that need volunteers or are looking for members. You may volunteer to fulfill your major requirements or just to help others.
