Real-life Learning
Service Learning
You'll find many ways to put your knowledge to the test in the neighborhoods surrounding the University.
You can mentor students in local schools, volunteer at area social-service organizations, and help plan charitable events and fundraisers.
Internships can also give you valuable experience working for an employer in your chosen field or in one you wish to explore, helping with your career decision-making process.
Staff at the Center of Community Service at Northeastern can tell you about all the available projects.
