PEACE Volunteer Center

The PEACE Volunteer Center provides opportunities for students, faculty and staff to serve the campus and community. The mission of PEACE (People Exploring Active Community Experience) is to increase volunteerism at UT through direct service and advocacy.

PEACE works with area community service agencies, including the Humane Society, homeless shelters, and elementary schools. The organization also hosts group projects at sites such as Habitat for Humanity, Haven W. Poe Runaway Center, and the Ronald McDonald House.
