| Community Engagement

“It only takes one event to get a student—or faculty member—hooked. Our events are about small moments that you take away with you, such as the child you bond with at Give Kids the World Village, or the wall you build at Habitat for Humanity. Being a part of JUMP, I feel so much more connected to Rollins now, and I try to think every day about at least one thing I can do to make someone else’s life better.”

-Amanda Wittebort ’13

 

Join us in our adventure! Make progress by connecting and engaging in events, programs, and initiatives that make a difference in communities across Central Florida. JUMP (Join Us in Making Progress) provides Rollins College students, faculty, and staff the opportunity for personal growth and experiential education through campus and community involvement.

JUMP events are open to all members of the Rollins College community, including friends and families.
