Community Services Program
Ashland University's Center for Community Service’s mission is to provide service opportunities in Ashland County and surrounding communities to encourage social responsibility, community involvement and thoughtful action. Projects through the Community Service Office include Ashland University GIVS food drive, Adopt-a-Family, and Empty Bowls.
Ashland University’s student-led service organization, Community Care, allows student co-leaders to organize and facilitate events according to interest areas, including Hunger Team, Youth and Literacy Team, Environment Team, Habitat for Humanity Team, Adopt-a-Grandparent Team and Crisis Crew.
PROUD (Partners Reaching Out for Ultimate Development) is another service program, which allows Ashland University students to serve as tutors and mentors to at-risk children in the Ashland City Schools. Each PROUD tutor/mentor meets with his or her student for at least two hours per week for the entire school year.
The Center for Community Service also houses an AmeriCorps VISTA volunteer who serves as the Service Learning Coordinator on campus. This full-time individual facilitates opportunities that allow students to connect their academic learning to service in surrounding communities.
