For Community

Non-profit and community-based organizations often turn to UAB for student support. UAB faculty, staff and students rely on community organizations to maintain the University's link to understanding issues and concerns outside UAB. The UAB Office of Service Learning is eager to help you find talented and dedicated students to learn and serve in your organization.

By working together, UAB and community partners are able to build viable, mutually beneficial long-term relationships.
