About the Butler Center

The SLC uses the "Spectrum of Service" model (see below) to illustrate how individuals develop into social change agents. The model demonstrates the process of growth individuals experience as they are exposed to volunteering and becoming more aware of and educated about societal issues. Individuals begin as "members" of society who are not concerned with a personal role in societal problems and ideally develop into "active citizens," or agents of change, who make the community a priority in their values and life choices.
