The UMass Office of Community Service Learning at Commonwealth College (OCSL) produces the Community Service Links to facilitate community service connections for the UMass community, the Five Colleges, and the community at large. It has information on:

• local community-based service opportunities
• on-campus service organizations
• national service opportunities
• community service learning (CSL) courses and faculty

Students and others can use this information to identify service opportunities to match academic and personal interests.

Faculty and staff can identify community organizations that may be interested in partnering with them to provide CSL opportunities for students on an on-going basis. In addition, they can learn more about CSL offerings on campus or directly update information on their own CSL courses.

Community organizations can publicize their volunteer needs by directly entering information into the database. They can also learn more about other local organizations and opportunities for working with the university community.

To access Community Service Links for the first time, please register through the link on the side bar.

To update information about your organization or course, access the data entry screens through the prompts on the registration page.

In addition to producing the Community Service Links, OCSL assists students, faculty, staff, and community organizations in developing service partnerships and integrating service with learning. For more information about OCSL programs, please contact:
