Community Service


Community Service Log

The prime focus of Jesuit education at Fairfield University is the formation of "men and women for others" through service accompanied by reflection. Jesuit education helps students to realize their talents and that their talents should not be used simply for personal gain but to promote the common good. Community Service is an important part of your entire learning experience and formation here at Fairfield University. We hope you'll join us!
