Through our growing relationship with the community, the ALIVE Center shares information on countless resources provided by nonprofits and community organizations.

The ALIVE Center works to connect the campus and community in creating partnerships to identify community needs and assets.

The ALIVE CCP connects WKU students and faculty with opportunities and resources for engaged scholarship that involve community-based research and service-learning.

Faculty and students at WKU can develop service-learning projects utilizing The $100 Solution program, which is based on the notion that small amounts of money can make a difference.

Register for a Fall 2012 Service-Learning Course

At WKU curricular service-learning is a course-based, credit-bearing educational experience in which students participate in an organized service activity that meets a community need and reflect on their service activity as a means of gaining a deeper understanding of course content, a broader appreciation of the discipline, an enhanced sense of social responsibility and/or a greater interest in an understanding of community life.
