This past October, the Marilou Allen Office of Service & Community Collaboration offered its very first Alternative Fall Break program, in which students could spend their break volunteering at different community organizations focused on issues of ecology, environmentalism, and food justice. Five students participated, and gave their time to help our Ardmore and Philadelphia neighbors garden, package meals, plant trees, and more.

The Marilou Allen Office of Service & Community Collaboration (OSCC or Office of Service for short), supports service and community engagement for the entire Haverford community. We help build local relationships and partnerships, and position Haverford's campus as a welcoming gathering place for Ardmore community members.
Our goal is to make volunteer opportunities accessible and valuable to all. Student clubs who focus on service and advocacy can contact us to help plan and promote events, students who need clearances to work at an after school tutoring program with children can come to us for assistance, anything we can do to help you get involved in service work here at Haverford and beyond... just reach out and let us know!
