Become a Leader and Voice Your Ideas

Become a Project Leader

Each of our projects has one person who leads the group to the site, communicates with the people in charge when on-site, and helps to get the word out about our events. We are always seeking new project leaders at the onset of each academic year; Contact us at souls@suffolk.edu to find out more.  Project Leader Application

Work for Us

Our annual beginning of the year kick-off for first-year students! Join us for a month full of service opportunities.  See a complete listing of events on SUconnect.

Supper Clubs

The Cathedral of St. Paul (Mondays), The Paulist Center (Wednesdays), and the Church of the Advent (every other Tuesday) provide meals to homeless and needy persons through their Supper Clubs. An average of 5-10 students can be found each week assisting with meal preparation or serving warm food to the hundreds of guests each night.

Service Day

Join us on April 8, 2011 for our 14th annual Campus-Wide Service Day and luncheon. The S.O.U.L.S. Center is currently accepting registrations.

Hunger and Homelessness Month

November is Hunger and Homelessness Month, and S.O.U.L.S. will have many events focusing on service for the needy and education on the issues. In addition to our month-long Canned Food and Warm Clothing Drives, we will be planning panel discussions and speakers, volunteer opportunities, workshops, and other activities. Please join us to help the needy of Boston prepare for the winter. Please see SUconnect for a complete list of events.
