Some things can't be taught in a classroom. As an integral part of the University of San Diego's mission to educate the whole person, the Office for Community Service-Learning creates opportunities for students, faculty and staff to enrich their lives while making San Diego a better place to live. By integrating community service-learning with classroom curriculum and student-directed volunteer projects, students apply what they've learned in real-world situations, adding dimension to their own education while helping to address actual needs in the community. During their academic careers, more than two-thirds of USD's undergraduates are involved in a range of volunteer community service projects, including: Family Learning Center, Habitat for Humanity, Homeless Outreach, Linda Vista Kids Project, Native American Outreach, Senior Outreach, Special Olympics ,and Volunteers for Youth.
