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

• Voter Information - the Center is committed to ensuring that all students who wish to participate in the electoral process  have the opportunity to do so.
