USAC Community Service Commission

Since 1965, the Community Service Commission (CSC) has focused its efforts towards creating social change, understanding the needs of the greater Los Angeles community and providing necessary services, and promoting campus-wide service programming. CSC is an office of the Undergraduate Students Association Council (USAC) and represents community service at UCLA. Currently, CSC supports over 40 student-run community service projects and over 2,000 students each year, making CSC the largest completely student-run, student-initiated community service organization in the nation. Students work together to tutor youths and adults, address the health needs of various communities, combat poverty and homelessness, and reach out to incarcerated youth and neglected children. CSC projects strive to provide communities with the tools to empower themselves and challenge the structures and barriers that keep them from achieving their goals. In the process, student volunteers learn more about the community around them and gain insight they could not learn in a classroom. The commission also aims to centralize the service efforts of the UCLA campus community through issues awareness, safety initiatives, collaboration, the Community Service Record, the Alternative Spring Break program, and large-scale service events, SREC
