The Center for Community Service

Our Mission:

The Center for Community Service serves as a resource for students, faculty and staff in providing opportunities for civic engagement, volunteerism, and service learning with agencies throughout the Greater Hartford area.

---

We hope to increase the level of volunteer service provided by our students, faculty, staff, and alumni by:

• working closely with our off-campus neighbors and agencies to identify community needs.
• maintaining an active database of agencies seeking volunteers by publicizing volunteer-service opportunities and connecting volunteers with these experiences.
• assisting clubs and organizations with their philanthropic efforts, by researching community and agency needs and securing relevant and meaningful service-learning experiences that will strongly relate to the students' course work.
• providing printed resources on the field of service learning, by serving as the University's liaison with local off-campus agencies, and meeting with classes and academic departments to discuss service-learning opportunities.
