Elliott Zajac (‘27) As a student-run volunteer organization, Benef-Action acts as a bridge between students and local organizations looking for volunteers, able to connect peer-to-peer in a more effective way than, say, emails about the same opportunities from faculty members a student may have never even met. The club’s philosophy is about making volunteering approachable and accessible for all, and moving past the “service hours as a chor” mindset that students might bring to campus from a high school environment. Through the power of organized collaboration, they can make a difference for local stakeholders and support Skidmore’s institutional mission of giving back to the community.
