Service Learning and Community Action

A Year of Service
Emersonians are engaged in service across the disciplines.

Civic engagement encourages critical and creative enterprise around real-world social justice issues. Service learning at Emerson College fosters a respect for human diversity and prepares us for life and work as impactful global citizens of the 21st century.

The Office of Service Learning and Community Action (SLCA) promotes civic engagement by encouraging critical and creative enterprise around real-world social justice issues. We are connected to hundreds of nonprofit partners from Boston and around the world, with whom our professors, students, and organizations collaborate on the betterment of communities.

Based in the Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning (CITL), our academic and co-curricular offerings let Emersonians contribute their skills in communication and the arts to community-based initiatives while they develop consciousness in a hands-on context. Service learning at Emerson College fosters a respect for the complexities of human diversity and prepares students for life and work as influential global citizens of the 21st century.
