社区服务
Nearly 70 percent of 目的 students volunteer through our 社区服务 Program, working on projects that fulfill genuine needs in our local community.
The program aims to provide as many students as possible with structured, meaningful opportunities to engage with and give back to the community and to build compassion and empathy. With the exception of the required biannual 社区服务日, all of 目的’s participation in community service opportunities is purely voluntary because we believe that involvement in the community should be built on individual passion, 开车, 真正的参与.
