Welcome to the Duchesne Center

The Duchesne Center for religion and social justice is the heart of community service and experiential service learning at Manhattanville. Although not all of Manhattanville's service programs are run by the Duchesne Center, it does coordinate many of them. Its mission is to facilitate, educate, and encourage student involvement in community outreach, cultural, leadership, academic, and spiritual initiatives across the Manhattanville College campus and beyond. Through the Duchesne Center-

• Students completed approximately 30,000 hours of local and global community service
• There are over 50 outlets for community service available on the Manhattanville campus.
• More than 500 students participate in community service activities.

Service learning trips are planned to several counties in the 2011-2012 year including: Nicaragua; El Salvador; Haiti; Romero Center, Camden, NJ; New Orleans, LA; and, the Texas Leadership Conference.
