The UCU Community Service Team tries to provide UC students with an overview of all possible volunteer projects in utrecht. This overview is not only for those who are interested in helping out the people who are less lucky than us, but also in order for us UC students to eliminate our reputation of being locked behing the gates by actually do something back for the community we are living in.
