Center for Service and Leadership
At Springfield College, we’re focused on being leaders in service to humanity. Our Center for Service and Leadership plays a large role in achieving this goal by connecting students to community service and engagement opportunities and promoting the practice of everyday leadership.
So, where do we begin?
We understand the philosophy that being a good citizen starts with being a good neighbor. The center provides educational opportunities for our students by assisting them with developing connections and relationships with the greater Springfield community through serving with individual neighbors, elementary and secondary schools, and community-based organizations.
The Center for Service and Leadership consists of the following:
- Center for Leadership and Civic Engagement
- Mary Ann Coughlin Pride Pantry
- Office of AmeriCorps
- Office of YMCA Relations
The center provides students and faculty with learning laboratories for extending practical application of skills, leadership development, and service learning with residents of the city of Springfield. These centers and offices connect the issues that Springfield College students care about with the things they believe they can change, providing a platform to develop students as leaders in service to others.
The Center for Service and Leadership collaborates with offices, departments, and organizations that provide leadership development opportunities for students while meeting identified community needs.
