Commitment to service is one of the cornerstones of New York University. Over 15,000 students, staff and faculty are involved in University-sponsored service activities each year. New York City is full of opportunities to serve from one-day experiences to sustained community engagement. In addition, NYU provides opportunities to serve all over the world at each of the study away sites and through other international service programs offered throughout the University. Tutoring, visiting with senior citizens, painting public schools building homes and teaching HIV/AIDS awareness are just a few of the hundreds of programs available for you to make a difference in your community.
