GAINESVILLE, Fla. – For the second season in a row, Jocelyn Erickson has been named as part of the Southeastern Conference Softball Community Service Team, the league office announced on Tuesday morning.
Each of the SEC’s 15 softball programs nominates a student-athlete who gives back to her community through exemplary service efforts on the team.
The SEC sponsors Community Service Teams for all 22 league sponsored sports.
Jocelyn Erickson’s Community Service
Erickson has volunteered with multiple community events over the past year. She collected food for those in need in the community for Thanksgiving, including assisting in organizing a canned food drive and delivering those cans to local Gainesville food banks.
She also volunteered with Gator Tracks, which provides shoes for students attending one of seven schools in Alachua County who are a part of a free or reduced lunch program. Erickson helped collect, organize and wrap donated shoes and then helped deliver those shoes to three different elementary schools in Gainesville before the holidays in December.
She has made multiple visits to Shands Hospital to visit with pediatric patients. An active member of the Florida Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, Erickson serves on the executive board. She traveled to the Dominican Republic over the summer for a 10-day trip to help serve and spread sport in the local community.
