The Community Service-Learning Institute operates a system for leveraging knowledge to develop responsible, civic-minded youth.  The Institute prepares young people, in partnership with their communities, to use personal strengths, academic preparation, and community resources to address social needs.

Many programs are sponsored by the Institute.  They include academic programs such as the academic minor in Community Service and Service-Learning, and opportunities to serve abroad, a program that is coordinated jointly with the Institute and the Office of International Initiatives.  The Institute also coordinates programs that include leadership development, professional development, research, curricular and co-curricular development, model programs and special events.
