The John W. Alford Center for Service Learning promotes and supports local community service by engaging the Denison community in four areas:

• Denison Community Association - our student led and operated umbrella organization for  24 student service committees

• America Reads - our program for Federal Work Study students to provide tutoring services to area elementary schools

• Curricular Service Learning - Denison courses which include structured service work as part of the text of the course

• Denison Service Orientation (DSO)-the Center partners with First Year Programs to provide a service orientation opportunity for freshman in Washington, DC each year

Current News and Upcoming Events:

PLEASE NOTE: The Center for Service Learning is closed for the summer and will reopen August 3.
