Last year, Gettysburg College students volunteered for 16,500 hours to community agencies that are partners with CPS. Reflective Service offers the opportunity to students to engage meaningfully with community initiatives on their own time, while offering carefully designed support systems that encourage a deeper exploration of community issues and their beliefs about the practice and meaning of service. These experiences are facilitated by the CPS student leadership team and supported by ongoing CPS training and development activities.
Please explore the options for reflective service below and email the student Program Coordinator if you would like to participate.
