CSL for Community Partners

What is Community Service Learning?

Community Service Learning fosters collaborations between Saint Mary’s University and community organizations, empowering you to address local challenges with the support of our students and faculty.

Our Community Partners are identified local organizations who have committed to providing Saint Mary's students with relevant learning opportunities, both in person and virtually, that coincide with the respective course matter.

We exclusively work with not-for-profits, publicly funded institutions and social enterprises. If there is a specific organization you would like to work with, please let us know and we would be happy to connect with them and ensure they meet all necessary requirements to be our students' co-educators.
