Community Service & Service-Learning

Community Service and Service-Learning, within the Allegheny Center for Experiential Learning (ACCEL), contributes to student learning and development by empowering students to understand and respond to community needs as articulated by local, national and international communities. Reciprocity, student input, and the development of community and faculty partners are essential to sustaining the programs and structures developed by this office. Curricular and co-curricular initiatives strive to include student responsibility, exposure to diversity, social justice and reflection. These elements foster student efficacy and life-long civic engagement.
