Bunker Hill Community College

Community Engagement

The Office of Community Engagement, located in B-211B, seeks to help students develop tangible skills through community service, service learning, civic engagement, and student activism. Whether the involvement is civic-centered or service-centered, the Office of Community Engagement will help students see the connection between involvement in their communities and their own professional and personal development. During the academic year, we host a variety of programs, such as a Fall Community Service Fair, Hands-On Days in Charlestown, and workshops focused on leadership and civic engagement.

The Office of Community Engagement helps students find community organizations to volunteer with, and recognize how service connects with their professional development. We can also help you petition your professors to use service learning, which is a special project combining service and research in your community that relates to the content of your class. Through these efforts, we help you realize your passions and interests by helping you become more civically involved in your community.
