Community Giving
Social justice was a core value of Louis Brandeis for whom Brandeis University is named. The university makes a concerted effort to emulate this value through multiple service student clubs and service trips. The Princeton Review ranked Brandeis University #1 for student involvement in community service. It is with this in mind that BNC Westlake continues to carry on Brandeis' legacy.
Dottie's House
BNC Westlake has chosen to support Dottie's House, an organization that supports survivors of domestic violence. It provides transitional housing for women and children, as well as counseling, employment assistance, and financial support. Our members prepare birthday boxes with small gifts for the children in order to brighten their time there.
