Community Engagement

We believe volunteering helps us become active and engaged citizens who make a difference in our communities, both near and far. It’s at the core of our Benedictine heritage through the values of hospitality, community, love, and stewardship. It’s what makes us Anselmian: creative, generous people fostering positive social change. Through our partnerships and work in community, Anselmians learn and give. They develop a global perspective that stays with them long after they graduate.
