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 has three locations associate with it along with two additional service-based offices.
- Center for Leadership and Civic Engagement, located at 385 Eastern Ave. in Springfield
- Center for Service and Leadership main office, located on the second floor (Suite 335) in the Flynn Campus Union on the Springfield College campus
- Mary Ann Coughlin Pride Pantry located on the main floor of the Flynn Campus Union on the Springfield College campus
- Office of AmeriCorps, located on the fourth floor of the Stitzer Welcome Center at Judd Gymnasia on the Springfield College campus
- Office of YMCA Relations, located on the second floor (Suite 342) in the Flynn Campus Union on the Springfield College campus
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.
