About
The Bentley Service-Learning and Civic Engagement Center (BSLCE) engages over 1,000 students each academic year through the courses of dedicated service-learning faculty and our co-curricular programs. BSLCE partners with our local, national, and international nonprofit community partners to help address important public issues. Over 850 of these students participate in intensive 20+ hour service opportunities at one of 40 community partner sites. A national thought-leader, the BSLCE works across academic disciplines with over 100 faculty, who offer embedded and 4th-credit academic service-learning opportunities through their courses. An innovative student leadership model drives our programs forward and promotes both intellectual and civic development. Additionally, the BSLCE offers a variety of co-curricular civic engagement initiatives to the campus and community, including an annual Fair Trade Fair, the BUIILD project, and Alternative Break trip, and strategic consultancy to local nonprofits.
