Students in Action
Students in Action is a Padua group of volunteers who regularly help others through service at numerous locations. Students each pick individual places to spend the majority of their volunteer hours, while also recruiting other Padua sisters to go with them. It is a fun, easy way to help others and make friends along the way.
