CSUSM volunteer program rapidly expanding - North County Times: "AN MARCOS ---- Suzanne Tyner spends two afternoons in Oceanside each week explaining the pitfalls of becoming a young woman to teenage girls in the foster care system.
Monica Navarro helps day laborers improve their English skills two mornings a week in Escondido, before the workers get hired for construction and landscaping jobs.
Tyner and Navarro are among the nearly 900 students from Cal State San Marcos volunteering across North County this semester as part of the rapidly expanding community-service learning program at the 7,600-student university.
In conjunction with their course work, students in many classes at the university are required to spend dozens of hours each semester volunteering at public schools, homeless shelters, food pantries, animal shelters, senior centers and low-income apartment complexes.
The program features typical volunteering stints, in which aspiring teachers tutor at public schools and sociology majors work with low-income people.
