Mission Statement

Our primary mission is to provide diverse community service opportunities to Federal Work-Study eligible students by partnering with non-profit service agencies to develop positions that improve conditions within the central Ohio community. These positions promote social and economic progress and general public welfare and improve the quality of life for community residents, particularly low-income residents.

Additionally, we hope to provide Federal Work-Study students with experiences that will immerse them in diverse social environments, thereby encouraging compassion and empathy for community residents at all socioeconomic levels and contributing to the betterment of society.
