Office of Service-Learning

Serve with Purpose. Flourish Together.

The Office of Service-Learning connects students, faculty, and staff with meaningful opportunities to engage with our communities through volunteer opportunities, academic coursework, and campus-wide events.

Whether you're tutoring local students, collaborating with nonprofits, or reflecting on complex social issues in class, the Office of Service-Learning at Belmont helps you connect your learning inside the classroom with your service engagement outside of it - and vice versa! It's about mutual partnership, civic responsibility, and collective flourishing.

We facilitate:

  • Service-learning courses that integrate community engagement into academic content
  • Volunteer opportunities through Get Connected, our digital service platform
  • Service Wellness credit processing
  • Campus-wide volunteer events like Family Literacy Day and MLK Joint Day of Service
  • Support & resources for faculty, staff, and community partners
