Community Service

Each year the Catholic University's Center for Planning and Information Technology compiles and publishes its "Annual Community Service Report" which details the over 40,000 hours of service that CUA students donate to the community.  That report is displayed below in its entiriety and you may access the microsoft "printer friendly" version by clicking this link.

Summary information about specific current service projects in the Brookland community will appear in this space in the near future.  See also http://community.cua.edu/service/volunteering.cfm.
