Tigers in Service
This student-run program is designed to match volunteers with service opportunities in the Hays area. Sponsored by the Student Government Association, the Center for Civic Leadership, and the Office of Student Affairs, Tigers in Service is a clearinghouse for students with a desire to participate in community service activities.


Neighborhood Clean-Up

FHSU had its own group of NYSD representatives present on the streets surrounding the campus. Hays Mayor, Kent Steward, lives in this area and brought it to the attention of Tigers In Service that after a weekend of partying, the area can be less than appealing. Tigers In Service took on the mission of putting together a group of volunteers to clean up the area. With the support of the Hays City Commission, the Parks Department, Public Works and local residents, volunteers took to the streets. The clean-up began on campus with a three groups of student volunteers. The groups headed off campus to take care of the designated residential area. This phase of the project covered a four block stretch down West 5th, 6th, & 7th Streets. Nearly 80 volunteers worked for over two hours beautifying the area. Residents were encouraged to assist in the clean-up effort as well. The City of Hays generously donated all of the supplies needed for the event.
