Mission Statement:
Empowering our community to positively impact society
Berkeley College has a long tradition of involvement with and service to the communities we serve. Continuing that tradition has become an important part of the Berkeley experience, involving students, alumni, faculty, and staff to support worthy causes. Community service efforts align with the mission and values of Berkeley College, exemplifying the idea that teaching and learning take place both in and out of the academic setting.
BerkeleyCares was created to organize efforts that address important social, economic, and environmental issues in the community. Throughout each year, members of the Berkeley community provide thousands of hands-on volunteer hours, supporting organizations in the critical areas of food, health, shelter, and student success.
Strategies in Sustainability
From conserving energy to reducing waste, Berkeley College is working to save the planet. Eco-conscious improvements are being made at every Berkeley campus. For more information, view our sustainability initiatives.
Save the Date: Community Service Week 2020
During Community Service Week, the largest annual initiative of BerkeleyCares, members of the College community provide local organizations with hundreds of alumni, faculty, staff and student volunteers for service projects.
In 2020, Community Service Week will be held from Sunday, May 31, through Friday, June 5.
Last year, Community Service Week provided 2,300 hands-on volunteer hours to more than 40 community organizations in New York and New Jersey.
