NYU…a tradition of Service. The commitment to community service is one of the cornerstones of New York University. Over 5,000 students, staff and faculty are involved in University-sponsored community service each year.

NYU volunteers serve the NYU community in a variety of ways: tutoring, visits to senior citizen, painting public schools, conducting clothing and food drives, are just a few of the hundred of programs available through the Office of Community Service.
