Local Community Service
Research shows that service is currently the #1 way college aged students in university encounter God. Albertus is proud to have so many local partners to provide our campus community with the opportunity to encounter others and the greater community. Current service sites can be found in our Local Service brochure.
Habitat for Humanity
Albertus students have the opportunity to spend the day volunteering with Habitat for Humanity New Haven. Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization that helps families build and improve places to call home.
Community Garden
Started in 2017, the community garden was established as a way to continue the college’s strong tradition of working to promote social justice and care for creation. Proceeds from the garden go to local food banks as well as our Albertus community who may be in need of fresh produce. The community garden is also a classroom space for several courses.To get involved, please reach out to Dr. Ross Edwards.
