Welcome

The Office of Community Service Learning promotes student learning by connecting students to service opportunities in the community, fulfilling the University's motto, "Not unto ourselves alone are we born."

The mission of the Office of Community Service Learning is to address community-identified needs through service via collaborative partnerships with community organizations. These partnerships enhance the community, deepen learning and scholarship, and foster students' growth and development as active and engaged citizens.

During the 2009-2010 academic year, Willamette University students, faculty, and staff contributed over 150,000 hours of service to over 250 community organizations.
