Stevens Service Learning Center

The Stevens Service Learning Center at Merrimack gives students the opportunity to volunteer throughout their community. The Stevens Service Learning Center establishes ties between community service and a student’s academic experience at college. The center provides a number of service sites to volunteer at as well as giving students the rewarding feeling of giving back to their community. 

The Stevens Service Learning Center is located on the third floor of the Sakowich Campus Center and the staff encourages students to get involved. The Service Learning Center is an excellent opportunity for organizations to acquire volunteers as well as giving students the chance to explore different communities. Students gain valuable life experience from the service and career volunteering.

Any student is welcome to come into the office and sign up for a volunteer trip. It doesn’t matter if you come as an individual or with a team or organization to partake in this opportunity. Students are guided through the process of finding a volunteer site that meets their interests.

Most of the volunteer trips have transportation provided and also offer a variety of places to choose from. The volunteer sites range from helping the elderly to the youth and to education. Students can help out at the Lawrence Boys and Girls Club as well as assist a detective at the Lawrence Police Department. Other volunteer sites include categories of homelessness, disabilities and other interests such as the local YMCA. Overall, there are many options to gain experience in community service while being a Merrimack student.
