Service

Post-graduate service opportunities allow students to explore interests in social justice through direct engagement with the communities they serve, and provide students with valuable experiences that serve them later in their career.

International Studies majors and minors often pursue full-time domestic or international service opportunities after graduation. In fact,听our majors undertake a year or more of post-grad service at 2.5x the BC average.

If you're thinking about this option, we recommend starting with the听Volunteer & Service Learning Center听site, which includes a list of over 100 organizations that offer full time, post-grad volunteer opportunities.听

Volunteer and Service Learning Center

The Volunteer Service Learning Center and Campus Ministry coordinate many of the major service programs that are popular with BC undergrads. Several are listed below, but check their web sites for more complete information.听
