Making a world of difference
In the Providence community
And in the personal and professional development of students

upcoming volunteer opportunities

Founded in 1995 through an endowment from philanthropist Alan Shawn Feinstein and the Feinstein Foundation, the Feinstein Community Service Center seeks to build a bridge between the academic knowledge and skills students receive in their classes and the real-life issues and challenges involved in being responsible citizens in a rapidly changing world. Center programs, particularly in the areas of hunger and homelessness, have received local and national recognition, including a National Daily Points of Light Award.

Center programs involve students and staff through:

• A Community Service-Learning graduation requirement
• A Community Leadership initiative
• Support for self-initiated service efforts and volunteerism
• Civic initiatives in the areas of hunger and homelessness
• Volunteer and in-kind assistance to community groups
• Community training and project development for University staff

The Feinstein Center also works with the Student Employment Office to implement the Federal Community Service Work Study Program. The Federal Work Study Program provides numerous opportunities for students to earn their work study awards through work at local nonprofit agencies.
