| 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. | ||

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.
