Improve Your Corner of the World

Give a little, get a lot

Service is more than just a buzzword here. It starts with Into the Streets during Autumn Term, when small groups of new students spend a few hours volunteering with youth programs, shelters and other local non-profits.

Spring break service trips

Spring break looks different here than it does in other places. While thousands of college students flock to St. Petersburg for sun and sand, many of our students leave town. Their destinations? . They return humbled and grateful.

Reflective service learning

All students have an聽academic requirement to take classes that emphasize the connection between meaningful service and learning through written reflection, which we refer to as reflective service learning.

Reflect, Serve, Learn Fair

Each fall, students connect with our community partners to think outside, with real-world volunteer opportunities that strengthen their resumes and prepare them for their future.
