Community organizations set up their tables for Celebrate Community.
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!
For internships and academic year fellowships focused on community engagement in the Philadelphia region and beyond, as well as connections to community-engaged courses and opportunities to fund community-engaged learning initiatives, visit the Center for Peace and Global Citizenship.
In October 2024, six students participated in our annual Alternative Fall Break program, spending their week off volunteering at local nonprofit organizations and learning about sustainability, food justice, and environmentalism. Student Isabelle Smith, class of 2028, reflects on her experience here!
