2001-2002 STUDENT VOLUNTEER AND COMMUNITY
SERVICE PROGRAMS

The following statistics are gathered from formal campus-based service projects. No statistics are available for students who volunteer on their own, outside of one of these specific projects or those that serve via other campus-based service initiatives for which no statistics are available.

Program Name	Number of Students	Number of Hours
Com S 1 & 101 Courses	355	27,000
Fresno READS	70	21,312
Jumpstart Fresno	46	12,000
Work Study	125	47,000
Blood Drive*	1,486	1,486
Kids Day**	380	760
Clubs and Organization Based Service***	407	7,888
Grand Totals	2,869	117,446

*It is assumed that a percentage of students who donated blood during the four Fresno State Blood Drives held during the 2001-02 academic year were repeat donors. It is unknown what that exact percentage is, however, based on Central California Blood Center Statistics, only x percent of individuals donate more than once per year.

** The specific number of student volunteers for Kid’s Day 2002 is unknown. A conservative estimate, based on the number of student organizations involved (38), multiplied by an average of 10 students per organization, provides an estimate for the number of students who volunteered with this one day fundraiser for Children’s Hospital of Central California. A further conservative figure of 2 hours per volunteer provides total hours for this event. It is likely that the actual figures are much larger.

*** Based on an informal survey of all recognized student clubs and organizations conducted in fall 2003.
