The Bonner Center for Service and Learning is the hub for civic engagement and community-based learning on Oberlin's campus.
The Oberlin College Bonner Center for Service and Learning (BCSL) works in partnership with the surrounding community to link students with educational service opportunities. Community service, advocacy, grassroots organizing, and applied research are the norm at Oberlin, where each year more than 55 percent of Oberlin undergraduate students do some form of curricular or cocurricular community service. The Bonner Center for Service and Learning encourages all students to become involved in community efforts in the Oberlinian belief that intellectual inquiry and community involvement reinforce and enrich one another.
