The Community Services Office is dedicated to provide students, faculty and staff of Hebron University a readily accessible doorway through which they can explore the rewards and benefits of providing service with relevant volunteer experiences that match the needs of our community, as well as the skills and interests of our students.
Our endeavors include fostering a community member who is civically engaged as an advocate, volunteer and educated citizen. We strive to embody the pillars of the university and core values of Hebron University through experiential service opportunities, collaboration with the academy and intentional reflection.
