Reach Beyond Your Boundaries to Help Make a Difference

Through Community Service at Ashland University, you will find many opportunities for reaching beyond your boundaries. From feeding the homless at a local breakfast center to visiting with local senior citizens at Good Shepherd Nursing Home. Participation in community service gives you the opportunity to have great experiences while making new friends and connecting with others in our local community. We continue to add opportunities through outside organizations to make sure that you have the best chance possible to participate in whatever program interests you! There are so many opportunities to try something new through our office!
