Our Mission:
CCASL VALUES:
Community |
Through service to others, we manifest our belief in the interconnectedness of all people. |
Hearth |
In the spirit of accompaniment, we share our space, time, and love with others to create genuine relationships. |
Justice |
Through civic engagement, we seek to reverse social, environmental, and systemic injustices in our world. CCASL challenges students to become active agents of social change. |
Respect |
We value the dignity of every person. Through reflective engagement with others, we seek to move beyond the realm of tolerance into a deeper place of common respect. |
Transformation |
By providing educational opportunities that allow students to become their most authentic, true selves, we develop global citizens with an educated awareness of and commitment to creating a more just, peaceful and equitable world. |
Creativity |
We foster an environment that values our diversity of perspectives and experiences, so that the vitality, optimism, and energy of our students may fuel innovative solutions that address complex contemporary problems. |
Welcome to CCASL, the Center for Community Action and Service-Learning, an organization located on campus that acts as a clearinghouse of resources and referrals on community agencies, volunteer opportunities, service-learning courses and other means of public service and action! We hope you will drop in and see us soon. We are located in the two-story, off-white house between Hopkins House and Alliance Residence Hall. On our website, you will find information and resources about a wide range of community service opportunities. We believe in empowering students to become leaders that will make a positive difference from within our local community to the global community.
The moment you walk into CCASL, it will quickly become apparent why "action" is in our name. Many students use the house as a base of operations for coordinating their service projects. As you arrive, you will find students who are involved, working hard and enjoying the challenge of being "men and women for others."
We're eager to meet you and get you involved. Everyone is welcome. All you need to do is walk in the door!
