Community Hornets
Giving through service to ESU and the community
Giving is part of Emporia State’s DNA
Our Hornets are changing the community through community service hours. In fact, most of our students participate in community service hours. One example is our student-athletes, who donated nearly 4,800 hours of community service to rank ninth in the nation among NCAA Division II schools in 2019-20.
You can make a difference, too
There are many ways you can participate in service through Community Hornets. Community Hornets is dedicated to connecting Emporia State University students, faculty and staff to service projects in the city of Emporia and surrounding communities. Through its service programs, Community Hornets is committed to engaging campus life in the opportunity and reward of volunteerism at the local, regional and national levels.
