Working to make a difference

Community engagement at Linfield University promotes learning, development and civic responsibility through co-curricular and curricular service opportunities. We support your journey toward civic engagement by maintaining partnerships with more than 100 community-based organizations, offering community service consultations and sponsoring numerous community service programs and events.

Alternative Spring Break

Linfield's Alternative Spring Break (ASB) is a week-long, service-learning program. Spend the week with fellow Wildcats performing meaningful service in partnership with a nonprofit, learning about a specific social issue, developing strong civic leadership skills, and building friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.

We welcome your partnership! As a local nonprofit, organization or school, we coordinate one-day service opportunities around McMinnville and seek to educate the Linfield community about ongoing needs. Your company can host a one-day project, find a student intern or volunteer, or be our guest on campus speaking in one of our classrooms.
