Comm*Unity First Year Service Learning Experience

The Comm*Unity First Year Service Learning Experience is designed to bring together service-minded incoming freshman commuters to participate in community service projects. The program provides an opportunity for students to develop leadership skills, strong friendships, and share rewarding experiences while engaging in uplifting community service. Participants will create a series of service projects throughout the fall and spring semester and attend an Alternative Break over spring break. An Alternative Break is a trip where a group of students participate in a week of volunteer service during Spring Break. The Comm*Unity experience supports students by connecting them with an NYU faculty member and 2 Graduate student advisors to help create the community service projects.

Applications for 2012-2013 are closed. 

Faculty In & Of the City 

Faculty In & Of the City provides the opportunity to share the excitement of learning in an environment that combines the inclusiveness of a small learning community with the resources of a large research university. This program is specifically targeted toward commuting and off-campus students, though open all NYU students. FIOC programs combine formal teaching, informal learning, creative activities, and personal support to create an environment where students are engaged with experiential learning with faculty as their guides. Faculty In & Of the City will concentrate its programs outside Washington Square and focus initially on the boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn.
