Yo! Junior here, and I'm deadset on applying to colleges that are super involved in local communities. It’s important to me because I wanna continue my volunteering and community service throughout college. Anyone got any good recs for colleges that do the most for their surrounding communities?
Hey there! I love your passion for community involvement. There are many colleges that have a strong culture of giving back.
1. Tulane University: Tulane requires all students to complete community service as part of the curriculum. The school contributed significantly to New Orleans' recovery following Hurricane Katrina.
2. University of Pennsylvania: Penn's Civic House promotes community service and has a plethora of volunteer opportunities for students.
3. Stanford University: Stanford has a strong commitment to public service. Their Haas Center for Public Service is a great resource for students interested in community involvement.
4. Loyola University Chicago: Loyola places a high emphasis on giving back and has a Center for Community Service & Action that makes it easy for students to become involved and do volunteer work in the Chicago community.
5. The College of William & Mary: William & Mary has an Office of Community Engagement which partners with organizations in the local community to offer volunteering opportunities and service projects for students.
Remember that community involvement can take many forms, including but not limited to volunteer work, research projects, and internships. Wherever you end up, I'm confident you'll find plenty of opportunities to stay involved!
