Election and Voting Resources
Please visit our Student Voter Registration page for more information.
Register to Vote
Massachusetts residents can visit the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ website for all voting registration information—from registration to finding your polling place.
All eligible voters can visit TurboVote to register and check registration status. If you happen to be studying abroad during election time, visit the Federal Voting Assistance Program website.
Local and State Elections
Since every state has different registration deadlines, it is important that you stay updated and well informed. Look for your home state’s information here.
Wheaton encourages students to stay actively engaged in local politics. All students are encouraged and welcomed to attend Norton Town Board Meetings.
WheaServe
Through WheaServe, students participate in meaningful community service projects together. Community service—whether it be in Norton, New Orleans or Ghana—provides a transformative learning experience that prepares participants to be better scholars, citizens and leaders.
Community Initiatives and Volunteer Involvement Club (CIVIC)
Our student-led community service organization encourages students, faculty and staff to move beyond a charity-based model of service. We strive to foster full and sustainable partnerships in which all participants benefit in significant ways.
Students also learn how to report their service hours through the “Report My Hours” function as well as how to utilize their service for future academic and professional opportunities.
Community Service Opportunities
Each month, SJCI and CIVIC host Civic Engagement Tuesdays. This is an opportunity to do small community service projects right on campus at the Chapel Base.
Here are some service organizations that have visited our campus for SJCI’s Volunteer Open House and always welcome volunteer support:
- Coalition for Social Justice
- Habitat for Humanity
- The Petey Greene Program
- Love Life Now Foundation
- Community Service Food Heals
For additional opportunities to serve with other students or to organize group service projects, visit CIVIC’s Engage page.
