The Jean Yawkey Center for Community Leadership is dedicated to developing service opportunities and leadership skills for Emmanuel students and providing programs for young people in Boston area schools and community organizations. Established in 2004 and supported by a generous grant from the Yawkey Foundation, the Center also offers scholarships and paid internship and summer fellowship opportunities to keep students involved in the greater community. The Center also supports service learning courses designed to connect student's values and interests to action and impact. In these hands-on electives, students give local organizations meaningful support while gaining significant experience that extends their classroom out into the community.
