Community Service

As part of the learning experience at Mount Carmel College of Nursing, students are required to complete community service hours before graduating. It's a great opportunity to assist the community while experiencing personal fulfillment. The Community Service 20-hour requirement is the application of one's skills and time to meet identified community needs of vulnerable and at-risk populations in accord with the College’s Mission and Catholic Identity. This will lead to learning and development through active participation in thoughtfully organized service that:

• is conducted in and meets the needs of the community;
• involves reflection and analysis of the experience;
• promotes the development of leadership skills, citizen skills, and social responsibility.

After completing the community service requirement, students will identify personal growth in meeting the program objectives: valuing the spirituality and dignity of persons, service to others, social justice, altruism, autonomy and integrity.
