UMass Amherst was founded upon the principle of community outreach and has been engaged in partnerships with the community for over 145 years.

We are educating students for civic engagement, offering over 100 courses with community service and countless volunteer opportunities.

The Community Service Learning office helps connect students, faculty and community organizations in mutually beneficial community-based learning opportunities.  The staff at CSL is here to help you connect in ways that are meaningful and sustainable, whether the partnership is directly linked to an academic course or is co-curricular.

If you are a student, a faculty member, or a community-based organization we want to help discover how you can be involved in community-based learning.
