Welcome to the Community Service Center!

 The Student Activities Office (SAO) and Community Service Center (CSC), are coming together to create the Student Leadership & Impact Center (SLIC) – a new hub for leadership, advocacy, engagement, and impact on campus and throughout Boston. SLIC will empower students to lead, serve, and organize for meaningful change through a cohesive, purpose-driven model of engagement.

Look out for new programs and services launching this academic year that align with SLIC’s six strategic pillars:

Leadership Development

Community Engagement

Civic Agency & Advocacy

Dialogue & Collaboration

Programming & Belonging

Reflection & Purpose

Importantly, the work of both SAO and CSC will continue. Student organization support will remain a priority, and the identity of the CSC will be retained while operating within SLIC, to honor its legacy. Together, we will offer expanded advising, leadership development, and opportunities to connect student organizations’ work with the broader BU and Boston communities.

Apply be a mentor and staff member for the First-Year Student Outreach Project (FYSOP) 2025!

For FYSOP 2025, staffing will be from Friday, August 22 to August 29 for training and for an initial FYSOP Day of Service as part of the University Orientation's Service Track.   As part of continued responsibilities, we look forward to a Common Ground / Community building activity on September 13, followed up by coordinating an additional day of service with a group of first-years during the fall semester (Dates: Subject to Change)

Sign up for Days of Service!

Join us for the refreshed Days of Service program! This year, volunteers can choose to attend one of two dynamic sessions on Saturday and/or Sunday of a given “weekend of service” that fits their schedule. Each 2-3 hour session will start with refreshments and a presentation on the community partner for that day, followed by a service project led by Service Chairs. Lastly, there will be a short reflection portion where volunteers integrate the CSC’s ethics with their experience. We will have service opportunities on Feb 8, Fed 21, March 22, March 29, April 11, April 29. More service opportunities are coming soon!
