Service Opportunities

Community Services

Students in the Touchstone Honors Program must complete three projects with TWU Helping Hands by the time they graduate, or they may alternatively complete two projects through TWU Helping Hands and volunteer for ten hours at a DFW non-profit organization of their choice.

Students in the Honors Scholars Program must volunteer for an average of 12.5 hours per semester.

A few of the organizations we are affiliated with are:
