The Bonner House for Campus-Wide Community Service
was created to both enhance current service-learning, community service, and civic engagement of Concord University's current outreach as well as to expand that outreach throughout the campus.

Offers access to information and tools as well as financial and hands-on support to faculty in including and implementing service-learning in any Concord University course.

University 100 Service and Teambuilding
