Since so many students are not able to join us in service on campus, we want to help students engage in service in their local communities. Our goal is for students to see each other serving and to be inspired to serve in their local communities throughout the semester!
You Don't Have to Serve Alone
If you would like to meet up with other Catholic U students who are in the area, please email cua-service@cua.edu and we will help you coordinate service together. We can't guarantee that there will be another Cardinal in your neighborhood, but we'll do our best!
