KU Community Outreach Center

KU Community Outreach Center The Community Outreach Center is the Kutztown University hub for community service and social advocacy work.

The center promotes mutually beneficial collaborations between the university and the Lehigh/Berks County communities and beyond. The Community Outreach Center is located in the McFarland Student Union, 281 and offers many volunteer opportunities for one-time volunteers and weekly/monthly volunteers. The center is always looking for students to join any one (or more!) of our various service opport

unities. For current opportunities, please visit www.engage.kutztown.edu and click on the Service tab or www.givepulse.com and log in with your KutztownU credentials. You can also contact us and we can help you find an opportunity that best matches your field of study and/or general interest. Not only is volunteering a rewarding experience, but it is also a great way to discover and serve your community, make new friends, and build your resume!

Postcard from Nashville, Tennessee🤠

Over spring break, our graduate assistant, Maddie, traveled down to Nashville, Tennessee, with 13 Kutztown students to volunteer in the community. These students spent their week helping at a thrift store, preparing fields for harvest, packaging food boxes for a local food pantry, and working with kids at an after-school program. We are proud of all our students who dedicated their time and break to volunteer and serve a community in need!
