Introduction

The Holden Center is committed to providing students with diverse opportunities to engage the community and make a difference.

Students may choose opportunities ranging from volunteering during our one-day community service events to engaging in a service-learning project where they take what they have learned in the classroom and apply it in collaboration with a community partner addressing the issues of our community.

We believe that bringing together the energy and innovation of our students with the wisdom and experience of community partners is a powerful tool for social change and we are here to support you along the way!
