Learning Through Serving

The University of New Haven believes that developing into an engaged and active citizen is as important as the career you will pursue. Through service-learning activities, you will study issues impacting the community and discover how you can play a role in helping to address them.

Making Our Community a Better Place

Service-learning allows the University to come together and participate in a shared cause of improving the community.

It is through these types of activities that we learn that we have more in common than what separates us. Whether students are mentoring youth, giving nutritional information to daycare providers, or offering dental care to uninsured or underinsured populations, we are all helping to make our community a better place.
