Semester of Service is a semester-long program that allows students to develop leadership skills through service-learning by committing 3-5 hours a week to one of the volunteer partner sites. Each student attends coaching hours that can be counted toward the total volunteer hours and completes a total of four reflection topics.

The volunteer sites are committed to providing the best hands-on experiential learning for students and the community.
