Through service-learning courses, developed by faculty and the center, students have the chance to apply course work in a volunteer setting.
Students gain valuable practical experience and develop an awareness of community needs.
The center also places students, faculty and staff, in a broad range of volunteer positions at more than 100 social service agencies, hospitals and nonprofit organizations in New York City and Westchster County. The Center for Community Outreach is an outgrowth of the understanding that without action, without commitment, without service or humility, learning is a sterile achievement. Fall 2001 Service-learning courses offer students an exciting opportunity to put into action what they have learned in the classroom. These unique educational experiences challenge students to serve the community, while developing a rigorous intellectual understanding of their personal commitments and obligations as citizens in a democratic society.
