Reflecting on Your Service

We believe that here at Saint Louis University, your service experiences should allow you to explore the following questions:

  • What did you do as part of your service?
  • What impact did it have on you?
  • Are you inspired to take greater action surrounding the issue or population served?

We recognize that there are various ways to give back to your community. It can be through philanthropy, one-time volunteerism or a commitment to ongoing service. Not everyone will choose the same route, but all play a vital role in helping to shape a better society.

Our mission is to help guide you on your journey of service, no matter where you might begin.

Advocacy and Civic Engagement

For many of you, a day of service is just the first step in a larger journey. The Center for Social Action works to encourage personal and social responsibility by transforming volunteers into effective servant leaders and advocates of social justice. If you are ready to take your service efforts to the next level, there are a variety of ways to engage in more meaningful and substantial ways.
