The faculty, staff, and students of the GVSU Department of Physical Therapy are committed to community and professional service. Our desire is to engender a spirit of volunteerism in our ranks and to offer our constituents a wide array of local and professional volunteer opportunities to choose from. We believe that taking advantage of these opportunities will expand our awareness of the many ways we can serve the greater good of our society and inspire personal growth.  It is important to us that a spirit of volunteerism be integral to this program. We are very excited to offer opportunities for you to get involved. If you have questions about any of them, please feel free to reach out.
