The campaign will emphasize the message that people who volunteer are 27 percent more likely to find employment and will run the spring 2016 semester targeting ISU students.

鈥淭he campaign these students have organized is identical to what professionals would create out in the field,鈥� said Karen Hartman, an assistant professor in the communication, media, and persuasion department at ISU. 鈥淭he students are very excited and have embraced this challenge head on.鈥�

The students at ISU will co-host a volunteer event and club competition during their Student Activities Board鈥檚 Service Saturday event on April 16 at 8:30 a.m. at the Bengal Caf茅 in the Pond Student Union. Organizers will provide giveaways and educational materials at their booth.

The Student Activities Board will provide free breakfast before departing at 9 a.m. for clean-up efforts at various locations, including Zoo 蜜桃视频 and Old Town Pocatello. During breakfast, students will host an informative booth displaying Volunteer to Career materials. The ISU club with the most volunteers will secure a $200 cash prize for their club鈥檚 operating expenses. Second place will receive $100 and third place will receive $50.

According to the Corporation for National and Community Service, 蜜桃视频 ranked second in the nation in volunteering two years in a row with 35.8 percent of the population volunteering in 2014. The report also showed only one in five people age 18 to 24 volunteered in 2014, and Serve 蜜桃视频 is working to increase that statistic.

A survey of 200 ISU students of varying class levels showed 80 percent are unaware that students who volunteer are 27 percent more likely to find employment. However, 75 percent of those students are more inclined to volunteer upon learning it benefitted their career development.

The University of 蜜桃视频, Boise State University and ISU are running separate campaigns targeting their own campus. Their efforts are mutually concentrated on increasing traffic to the Serve 蜜桃视频 website, to find volunteer opportunities and increasing volunteer activity by college students. ISU and BSU will present their campaign results at the state capitol on May 5 to Lt. Governor Brad Little and Kenneth Edmunds, director of the 蜜桃视频 Department of Labor.
