The Center for Public Service connects the PLU campus to the surrounding communities by providing opportunities for students, staff and faculty to serve community needs as part of their university experience.
There are many ways PLU people can become involved in community service at PLU. They can work with all ages—preschoolers through senior citizens—at the Family and Children's Center, a coalition of social service agencies housed together in PLU's East Campus that closely cooperates with the Center for Public Service. Students can also become involved in community work through academic service-learning classes that explore the relationship between an academic subject and community service experience. The Center for Public Service is a resource to faculty teaching these courses, which are available in many departments, and can help students find out about them. For a variety of volunteer work, individuals and student groups can also use the Volunteer Center, part of the Center for Public Service, to browse through listings of more than 100 volunteer opportunities on and near the PLU campus and to learn about residence hall or student club service projects.
To find out more about how to become engaged in the community, call the Center for Public Service, or stop by Ramstad Room 116.
