CUNY SPS Change Warriors

The CUNY SPS Change Warriors Program is a student leadership initiative that emphasizes developing leadership skills through volunteering. Volunteering is a rewarding experience driven by compassion and a desire to give back, helping communities, causes, and organizations in need. The program aims to build a community of individuals dedicated to the importance of giving and helping humanity.
