Switch4Good is galvanizing a worldwide movement, paving the way for a plant-rich food system without all the inequities, biases, and inefficiencies of the current legacy situation, starting with the most vulnerable animal food, dairy. Our vision is a world where compassion replaces exploitation, where animals and people thrive, free from profit-driven harm in our food system. Service learning projects with Switch4Good’s Campus Action Now can take many forms, with some options including recipe development, research and writing, argumentative writing, legislative advocacy, and educational outreach. All projects center around learning how moving away from dairy can push the world toward a more sustainable, just, and compassionate food environment. Service learners work toward deliverables that are used in Switch4Good’s advocacy and awareness campaigns, building professional skills and competencies that empower them to make tangible changes in their communities.   Volunteers are needed from 08/18/25-12/12/25. Students can serve at varying times within this range, but they will need to be able to serve for a substantial number of weeks (at least half of the term).   To sign up for this opportunity, please email lucyw@switch4good.org Swithch4Good   Students who complete this event gain skills in Critical Thinking/Problem Solving, Oral/Written Communications, Professionalism/Work Ethic.
