Community Service

Preparing for life after college sports is a major focus of the Barry University Athletics program. Student-athletes are given the opportunity to develop the foundation for a lifelong commitment to volunteerism through a variety of local organizations. In recent years, Barry student-athletes have been actively involved in many community service activities, including Habitat for Humanity, the Camillus House, and the Special Olympics.

Each year, all twelve Barry athletic programs participate in group and individual community service activities. The Buccaneers have participated in projects ranging from planting trees and tutoring school children to visiting nursing homes and serving meals to the homeless.

Being a student-athlete at Barry University is much more than just games and practices. Serving the community is an important part of each student’s life at Barry University. Student-athletes find that participating in community service activities is a great way to help others and gain valuable leadership skills.
