Community Work Program

Students who are accepted into the Bentley Community Work Program are eligible for semester-long community service assignments. Every year, more than 60 students participate in this program, which is administered by the Bentley Service-Learning Center.

Once a student has been awarded an assignment, his or her work schedule is arranged on an individual basis. Students can work 10 to 15 hours per week, with travel time to the work site taken into account. They also participate in workshops that explore time management, communication, active reflection and diversity issues among others. Site placements vary from schools and public housing facilities to homes for the elderly and computer training centers.
