About Us

Established in the fall of 1996, the Community Service Office's mission is to further develop our students, faculty, and staff as active citizens who value and contribute to the community by responding to community needs through meaningful action. As a strong partner in the educational mission of Lehigh University, we are intentional about providing students with significant experiential learning opportunities in the community. Students can engage in meaningful service by volunteering during the school year, over breaks on SERVE trips, or by tutoring local elementary and middle school children through America Reads/Counts. We're privileged to be a part of the South Bethlehem community, rich in history and culture, and work continuously to foster strong relationships with community organizations and the Lehigh community.
