Service Learning & Civic Engagement Programs
Alternative Service Breaks (ASB)
The Alternative Service Break program allows students an inexpensive alternative to regular term breaks. This program takes students to cities across the US over fall, winter, spring, and summer break and gives them the opportunity to learn more about social issues, contribute to the local economy, and serve the communities they visit.
Vote Everywhere
The Vote Everywhere program is UofL’s voter participation and civic engagement hub on campus. We help students understand the importance of voting, get them registered to vote, and bring local and national legislators to our campus so students can learn more about political issues and solutions.
International Service Learning Programs (ISLP)
The International Service Learning Programs provides experiential education in which students engage in activities that address human and community needs together. Students take a course oriented around global issues and travel to a country as their final exam to implement clinics, lessons, workshops, and activities to serve the host country and their needs.
Local Days of Service
Our local days of service allow students to contribute to their home community- Louisville. Throughout the year, our office plans and implements days of service in order for students to learn more about what their community needs and how their skills, talents, and passions can work to make Louisville a better place to live, study, work, and play.
"These programs are well-organized, well-executed, and action-packed. It is difficult to convey the joy I experienced during our exciting activities or how much I learned."
