Volunteer Activities

One of the things I would like you to experience during your college years is volunteering. Volunteering is a voluntary activity and is neither mandatory nor compulsory. It is something to think, think, and act on one’s own free will. However, it is not for one’s own benefit, but for altruism, and the activities and objectives must be open to society.

Volunteering allows students to experience many things that cannot be learned in the classroom alone through a wide range of activities, including education, culture, sports, international exchange, and environmental issues. Making use of yourself for the benefit of others will help you build yourself and make friends. We encourage you to actively participate.

Ehime University Student Campus Volunteers (SCV)

Ehime University Student Campus Volunteers (SCV) are Ehime University-approved volunteer staff whose purpose is to help students solve student problems with the support of faculty and administrative staff. It is also an educational initiative in which the university supports further development of support activities among students. The main purpose of this program is to enhance the ability of students to “teach, learn, and help each other” through support activities not only for students with disabilities and international students, but also for high school students and new students, and to support their studies and daily lives. The Peer Room is currently used as a base for daily support activities by nine different groups with various purposes.

Student Volunteer Support Center (SVSS)

In order to centralize information on support for the areas affected by the July 2008 torrential rains and to facilitate volunteer activities, the Student Campus Volunteers (SCV), along with the Ehime University Leaders School, Ehime University Disaster Prevention Leaders Club, and other volunteer students, established the Student Volunteer Support Center (SVSS) on campus. The Student Volunteer Support Center (SVSS) was established on campus. The center called for participation in disaster volunteer activities and conducted a questionnaire survey of students and faculty who had participated in volunteer activities, and compiled the results. Based on the results, a “Disaster Volunteer Handbook” was created to provide information on volunteer preparation and activities.
