Community Service and Action
Welcome from the Office of Community Service and Action (CSA)! Our team of student leaders and staff members are eager to connect with you as we strive to bridge the campus and the community. Learn more about our programs and how we hope to support the common good through our programs and initiatives.
Saturday of Service
Join us the Saturday before classes start to get to know your new neighborhood. Participate by gardening, painting, and cleaning while growing friendships with your fellow peers. A great way to grow relationships and give back to your community.
Weekly Service
Loyola 4 Chicago
Loyola4Chicago (L4C) participants serve at a community organization once a week for the entire semester. Service opportunities include working with homeless or immigrant youth, after-school programs, youth mentorship programs, adult women experiencing homelessness, or adults with disabilities. L4C recruits the first two weeks of each semester.
Drop-In Service
St. Thomas of Canterbury Soup Kitchen
The Soup Kitchen is a drop-in service opportunity for students. A group attends the St. Thomas of Canterbury Soup Kitchen on Tuesday and Friday each week. Once on-site, students are led by peer student leaders in meal preparation, distribution, and clean-up.
