Biographical / historical:

Florida's Office for Campus Volunteers was created in 1990 as a pilot project of the Legislature. Student leaders from across the state worked with Dr. Charles Reed (Chancellor for the State University System), with members of the Florida Association of Colleges and University presidents, national Campus Compact, and campus-based staff to create a proposal for a state-wide office for campus volunteerism that would serve all sixty nine institutions of Florida. The Florida Student Association, a statewide lobbying group for student issues, worked to garner support for the office across the state as a legislative priority. Legislators and college presidents were quite responsive to this initiative, and in September of 1990 the office began operating at the Florida State University Student Union. Staff included a Director, Associate Director, Administrative Assistant, and a student Program Assistant.
