Civic and community engagement
Social justice advocacy
Ethical reasoning
Global perspective
Community self-empowerment

Service Opportunities

Community service, along with service‐learning incorporated into individual class curriculum, forms the basis for a lifelong dedication and commitment for contributions to community engagement. We offer opportunities for students to explore their role in creating community change through:

On- and off-campus community service opportunities
Recognition of service through awards certificates
Alternative Break service trips
Experiential learning, such as Study Abroad and Internships
Immersive experiences
Service-learning through coursework

If you are in need of community service opportunities or wish to see our current community partners, visit LVC’s Community Engagement database (COMING AUGUST 2025).
