The Office for Service and Community Engagement is the place to start your service at Butler University. We are here to serve you in your search for a service match and trained to locate specific service sites and to help you explore what your interests may be and how to best suit them. 

Our impact

Through the Butler Food Pantry, tree planting with Keeping Indianapolis Beautiful, donation sorting and organizing at the Hoosiers Veterans Assistance Foundation and more, we’re empowering students to make a difference and deepen their connection to the city in which they live.
