Volunteerism and Service
At Georgetown, community service and volunteerism have long been defining characteristics of students' education and the University's mission. Georgetown embraces and lives out the Catholic, Jesuit ideal of service in its undergraduate, graduate, law and medical schools. Georgetown currently sponsors more than 100 community service initiatives that involve countless students, faculty, staff and alumni, and range from teaching children to offering pro bono legal services and providing health care for the medically underserved.

Opportunities to Get Involved
The Center for Social Justice Research, Teaching and Service spearheads the university's community-outreach efforts. The center centralizes the campus's hands-on community service projects, classroom-based social justice service opportunities, and research efforts geared toward collaborating with and aiding the metropolitan Washington community.
Integrating Service and Learning
Georgetown encourages faculty to enhance classroom learning by incorporating community service into their courses through community-based learning, an academic course-based pedagogy that involves student work with disadvantaged and underserved individuals or groups.
