What kind of service opportunities does Carolina offer?
Carolina has a long tradition of public service. Taking an active role in the Carolina community is one of the many ways that learning extends outside of classroom walls. Students not only participate in existing programs such as Habitat for Humanity, Big Buddy, and Project Literacy, they identify problems and develop plans to alleviate them. The APPLES service learning program provides the link between classroom learning and community work. Through a variety of programs, students create partnerships with faculty and community leaders in an effort to address social concerns and needs in North Carolina communities. By hosting 19 student committees, the Campus Y promotes social justice on campus, in the community, state, and throughout the world. Through the Black Cultural Center, students can help educate local youth about their heritage, culture, and community.
