Monthly Service Calendar

Through the Office for Community Service and Service Learning, student clubs and organizations at Saint Peter's have the opportunity to become more actively involved in our community.  The Monthly Service Calendar events succeed only through the tireless efforts and endless enthusiasm of our student clubs and organization who each co-sponsor at least one event each semester.  In correlation with many different local agencies, the Monthly Calendar allows for students with busy college schedules to still be able to gain the valuable experience of doing service while building community inside their own clubs and organizations.
