Service Opportunities: Local, Regional, International

Baylor students who participate in the Community Service program work every day locally and have the opportunity to expand their service regionally and even internationally. From building academic partnerships with children living across Chattanooga, to ministering aid and comfort to children and families in Kingston, Jamaica, the program offers a full range of service and leadership opportunities.

While it is not the main goal of the program, Baylor students regularly earn college scholarships due to their commitment to community service.
