The Center for Service and Social Action believes that, through service, we can deepen our understanding of and be a conduit for positive change within our local, national, and international community.
In the course of our typical daily experience, most of us do not have the chance to meet one of the approximately 18 thousand persons experiencing homelessness in Cuyahoga county, or one of the 40 million adults in the United States who struggle with literacy, or one of the 3 billion people in the world who live on less than $2.00 a day. The Center for Service and Social Action seeks to develop service opportunities which build relationships, enhance learning, encourage active citizenship, and support the John Carroll University mission to "inspire individuals to excel in learning, leadership, and service in the region and in the world."
We offer a variety of programs to meet the needs of our community partners and the interests of our service participants, including Service Learning, Voluntary Service, Service Projects and Events, and service-based Immersion Experiences. For further information on these service activities or other programs with the Center for Service and Social Action, please contact Interim Director Dr. Peggy Finucane at mfinucane@jcu.edu or at 216.397.4698.
