Canisius College - Office of Service-Learning

Welcome to the Office of Service-Learning at Canisius College! Service-Learning is an exciting and unique experience that combines academics, community service, and guided reflection in order to provide each student with a meaningful and worthwhile experience. The benefits of service-learning range from a deeper understanding of academic material to a stronger connection with your community, allowing students to have opportunities they could never experience in the classroom.

Participating in Service-Learning helps develop not only intellectual, but spiritual and moral growth in each student. By fully engaging in this hands-on opportunity, students can have a fulfilling experience that results in the formation of the complete student.

"Our purpose in education is to form men and women ‘for others.’ The Society of Jesus has always sought to imbue students with values that transcend the goals of money, fame, and success. We want graduates who will be leaders concerned about society and the world in which they live. We want our graduates to be leaders-in service.”-- Peter-Hans Kolvenback, S. J.
