The Department of Community Service is dedicated to providing relevant volunteer experiences to students and the greater Brandeis community according to the needs of the local community and skills and interests of the Brandeis community. The department strives to establish sustainable and reciprocal partnerships with community governmental, educational, cultural and social service agencies. They advise and support Community Service initiatives with the community partners.
The primary student service outreach is through the Waltham Group, the student led community service organization. The Waltham Group was founded in 1966, in response to student activism and in recognition of the university’s responsibility to be engaged citizens of the community. Hundreds of students volunteer each year through the Waltham Group, which serves as a center for service and advocacy.
