The Saint Peter's College Office of Community Service upholds and promotes the Jesuit ideal of educating students to be "Men and Women for Others." We strive to provide opportunities for our students which allow them to come to know both themselves and the world we live in more fully. Through participation in meaningful and potentially life-changing volunteer experiences, the Community Service Office prepares students for a lifetime of learning, leadership and service, while cultivating an awareness and appreciation for diversity not only while being a student of Saint Peter's College but as an alumnus as well.
SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES
Through the Office for Community Service, students have a wide array of volunteer opportunities available to them. Annually, more than 700 students volunteer on 50 or more projects at 30 different sites in Hudson County. The results are astounding. During the past year, Saint Peter’s students contributed more than 16,000 hours of service and raised over $8,000 for various charitable causes.
Students have the option of individually committing to at least 5 hours a week tutoring in local schools through our America Reads Program, or at least 30 hours per semester, 10 hours a month, in any number of local agencies with our Loyola Volunteer Program. In conjunction with student clubs and organizations, the Community Service Office helps students participate in events through our Monthly Service Calendar.
