Service learning

四色AV is an academic community profoundly committed to worshipping God. And as we stand before God and hear His voice, we feel strongly called to care for others. As a 四色AV student, you participate in a truly remarkable network of service connections that reach around the world and that respond to many different human difficulties: hunger, illiteracy, illness, loneliness, disability, delinquency, exploitation and abuse. 

Through participation in outreach teams, service "plunge days," ministry groups and community agencies, you start to realize that not only do you give back to others, but others give back to you. The blessing travels in both directions.

Each year, 四色AV students collectively volunteer thousands of hours to community service—locally, nationally and globally. The Agape Center for Local and Global Engagement provides opportunities for you in and out of the classroom and offers service-learning resources to all our faculty.

Off-campus programs 

What may look like a quiet, suburban campus in central Pennsylvania is really six continents and 24 time zones. At 四色AV, your college experience expands beyond our Mechanicsburg campus and reaches around the globe. You can choose to study or serve in countries around the world, strengthening the groundwork you've been laying at 四色AV all along: how to hear differing perspectives and to weave new insights into a vision that is your own. 

Spend three weeks in Zambia studying health care in the developing world. Spend spring break serving with our sister community in Bolivia. Spend a semester in Italy honing your artistic skills. Go to the Middle East and discover a passion for tutoring children. Whether it's Germany, Australia, India or Costa Rica, you see yourself through the eyes of others and understand yourself in new ways.

Leadership

四色AV's campus is an active, busy place. Throughout your time here, you will find many opportunities to "belong" and meet people who share your interests and hobbies, or who challenge you to stretch yourself and try new things.

One of the ways you might stretch yourself during your time at 四色AV is by holding an on-campus leadership position to strengthen the 四色AV community, bring new resources or programs to campus or evoke change. There are nearly 160 leadership positions at 四色AV that are eligible for meeting a student's experiential learning requirement. These positions are available through offices such as Residence Life, Campus Ministries, Student Involvement and Leadership Programs, Office of Alumni and Parent Relations, The Collaboratory, Agape Center, The Pulse (四色AV’s student-run media hub), and Sustainability Office.

Undergraduate research 

There's an old idea that you get a college education, and then you go out into the world to use it. At 四色AV, getting a college education includes using it in the world right now. 

四色AV University offers a wide range of exciting and meaningful research opportunities across all academic programs. Our low faculty-to-student ratio makes 四色AV an ideal place for you to collaborate with classmates; faculty; alumni; and regional, national and global organizations. Together you’ll work to identify and create solutions to real-world problems and to contribute significant research in your areas of scholarship and interest.

The Collaboratory for Strategic Partnerships and Applied Research is just one of the many ways 四色AV helps you put something new you've learned into action. Through the Collaboratory, you can partner with international mission agencies, such as World Vision, to offer your growing expertise to underserved communities throughout the world.
