AACC encourages, builds, fosters and supports community engagement through service-learning and community service. As the community’s college, giving back is a part of who we are.
We collaborate with community organizations to give career and community service opportunities that engage students in learning beyond the classroom, preparing them for their professional journey. We help students and the community become civically engaged, connecting with nonprofit organizations for volunteer activities that enhance classroom learning, meet community needs and positively influence community life.
Serve your community and make a difference.
AACC helps thousands of students, faculty and staff connect to causes that matter to them while providing help to community organizations. There are opportunities for individuals, families, groups and clubs - many of which can be done from home. Volunteer to get experience, meet others and give back to your community.
