Volunteer Center

Volunteer is the work for people to live in this world with others, listening to the smallest and weakest voices and not relying on a larger force. The spirit of volunteerism is present in all categories, study, and everyday life. Our educational philosophy is to develop the character of students so that they can think about "Do for Others" in various aspects of their social lives. In order to embody this philosophy, we create opportunities for all , both inside and outside of the university, to think, practice, and exchange ideas about "Do for Others". As individual encounters, faces, and thinks about social issues together, we aim to change ourselves and society in a way that is easier for everyone to live.
