The Community Outreach Commission strives to empower student volunteers to aid non-profit, local organizations and build a strong, collaborative community within the Kingston region. Consisting of ten committees, the commission offers a variety of opportunities to lend a helping hand to those in need. From working with the Kingston Humane Society through Lost Paws to volunteering at Pathways to Education through ASUS Partners in Education, the commission provides impactful experiences for students and community organizations alike.
