Philadelphia University: Community Service Office

COMMUNITY SERVICE LEARNING

"If it matters what you do, do something that matters!"

Philadelphia University believes that community service initiatives are a central part of the undergraduate experience. Accordingly, the office of Community Service Learning works to increase student access to the community service opportunities, serve as an informational resource about community agencies, supports students' civic engagement, and promotes service as a tool for learning.

Our goal is to develop students into community conscious leaders who have an active and engaged relationship with the City of Philadelphia, surrounding neighborhoods, and the broader context of society.
