Explore and Enhance Your Abilities!

USM Office of Community-Based Learning

Students: Community-Based Learning gives you the opportunity to gain valuable experience, explore career directions, develop global citizenship skills, give back to the community, and apply and explore personal and academic interests. Come visit us and learn about internship, service-learning and community service opportunities!

• Explore current internships positions at eRecruiting!
• View a list of service-learning courses! Distinct from internships, service-learning is a classroom-linked exposure to careers and social, environmental and cultural issues being addressed in the real world rather than a capstone experience at the end of your studies.
• Explore current community service opportunities! We offer meaningful community service programming that links you with local K-12 students to be a mentor or tutor and annual days of service. We also have strong relationships with many community organizations addressing a wide variety of issues.
