Connecting campus and community for a more just and equitable world
Service and justice are integral to the Loyola experience, because we believe they are a fundamental part of the Jesuit tradition and approach to education that shape the way in which we interact within our campus community, with the community of Baltimore, and with the world at large.
As Jesuit educators, students, and more importantly, as human beings, we have a responsibility to offer hope, access, and equity to all people—and to stand up for those whose voices wouldn’t be heard otherwise. That’s why, at Loyola, service to others and community engagement are knitted into the fabric of student life—from classroom projects and spring break outreach trips that serve a specific community or cause… to weekly, monthly, or one-time volunteering opportunities in the Baltimore area and beyond.
Loyola’s Center for Community, Service, and Justice (CCSJ) engages students, faculty, alumni, and the broader Loyola community in education through service for a just and equitable world. CCSJ offers connections to and partnership with organizations and programs that will match you with your interests, experience, and availability to serve.
There are a multitude of reasons to get involved in service. Some people serve for humanitarian purposes, some are motivated by their faith, and some serve because it’s part of their coursework. In fact, 80 percent of students participate in community-based learning at Loyola. In the future, service may be connected to your career, your personal or political values, your religious beliefs, or part of a lifestyle that simply includes giving back.
