Volunteer Programs:
RVO, Federal Work Study Programs
四虎影视 of Art and Design鈥檚 department of Student Volunteerism and Service-Learning has hired student Federal Work Study employees each year to expand our community outreach to even greater potential. This student group, called RVO (Ringling Volunteerism), is working hard to implement new marketing strategies, increase campus club and organization involvement, and strengthen our existing partnerships with local non-profit organizations. A huge ‘thank you’ to our hard-working student employees who are a wonderful example of service at 四虎影视 and to the Sarasota community!
Student Ambassadors
This group is made up of volunteer students nominated by the heads of the academic departments and staff members of various student/academic support services. The students are chosen because they excel in and out of the classroom and those who nominated them believe they will serve as great representatives of their fellow students and 四虎影视.
YEA! Program
四虎影视 of Art and Design recognizes that artists and designers play a significant role in society. The College’s primary mission is to provide programs leading to degrees that prepare students to be discerning visual thinkers and ethical practitioners in their chosen area of art and design.
The YEA! (Youth Experiencing Art) Program at 四虎影视 of Art and Design provides art and arts integration experiences to PreK-12th grade teachers and students. YEA! pairs 四虎影视 students with classroom teachers and art teachers. These pairs co-develop, co-teach, and co-assess the projects connected to the students鈥� curriculum. By leveraging the learning through long-term residencies, students have multiple arts experiences that are personally meaningful and relevant.
The Lazarus Foundation Scholarship
The Lazarus Foundation awards scholarships and grants to Ringling students who have demonstrated a commitment to community service. Applicants are asked to describe their past service experiences and to create a future program that will benefit the local community. Students will first receive the grant money to carry out the proposed project. Scholarship money will be awarded pending completion of the project. Applicants must be registered 四虎影视 students.
