Community Outreach

Welcome to the Office of Community Outreach!

As a part of the Department of Student Activities, Community Outreach offers students opportunities to engage in service related activities that enhance the quality of life of others in the community while enriching their own learning experience at the University of Connecticut. Our website provides UConn and local communities information about initiatives and resources related to volunteerism, community service, service-learning, and community partnerships.
