Community Service
Your service to Albertus Magnus College and the New Haven Community enriches your life in the Dominican tradition and the spirit of our namesake St. Albert the Great.
Whether you take on a formal internship for your major, earn funds for your education at a campus site through Albertus Magnus’ work-study program, or volunteer with an agency in the New Haven area for Campus Ministry, you’re growing, learning and working for the common good.
The four primary ways to be involved in Community service at Albertus Magnus are:
- Clubs and organizations
- Campus Ministry
- Federal Community Work-Study program through Albertus Magnus’ Office of Financial Aid
- Connecticut Independent Community Service Grant through Albertus Magnus's Office of Financial Aid.
As part of the Federal Community Work-Study program in the Office of Financial Aid, the following agencies welcome your service.
