Register for Day of Service 2008!
Saturday, August 30th
Calling all new Oberlin College students entering in Fall 2008! Are you interested in learning more about Oberlin and making a difference? Sign up for Day of Service! Last year, 327 new students participated in service projects at 28 different non-profit organizations in Northeast Ohio. Day of Service is a great way to learn more about the county you live in, connect with local non-profits, meet new people and have fun!
If you are a Conservatory student who does not have enough time to do a full day of community service, you can choose the half day option.
Questions? E-mail the Day of Service Coordinator, francesca.minonne@oberlin.edu

Our mission, in partnership with the surrounding community, is to encourage all students to become engaged citizens through curricular and co-curricular initiatives, which enrich the community and enhance students' education.
Our vision is that Oberlin College students, members of the faculty and staff, and the greater Oberlin community understand the importance and benefits of a civically engaged community. A civically engaged community is one that recognizes and respects the cultures of others and acknowledges community service as a bold and innovative approach to learning. The Bonner CSL's programs prepare all students for both engaged citizenship and effective civic leadership. The Bonner CSL supports a growing number of faculty-initiated community-based learning experiences that educate students and strengthen the community. Through the development of increasingly strong collaborations with the Bonner CSL, community partner programs are consistently enhanced.
