Service learning that goes beyond the classroom.
UC Engage aims to engage students in various learning activities beyond the classroom. The program offers service opportunities to students to help them develop critical thinking skills while fostering empathy and compassion. By participating in these activities, we hope to spark a desire within our students to positively impact their community and beyond.
We invite you to participate in our Season of Service!
