A brief description of the institution’s employee community service initiatives:
Being a good neighbor by assisting local nonprofit organizations is an important part of Columbia’s mission. Columbia Community Service (CCS) is one of the oldest organizations on campus—a fund generated by donations from Columbia, Barnard, and Teachers College employees that supports more than 50 local nonprofit organizations serving the Upper Manhattan community. From music schools to food pantries, from daycare to senior services and health and wellness programs, CCS provides ongoing support to a broad range of organizations. With the University covering all administrative expenses, 100 percent of the contributions goes directly to services. For more information, please visit communityservice.columbia.edu.
On a case-by-case basis, the University allows employees to take voluntary leave or compensatory time for community service work, and looks for ways to incorporate positive recognition on many fronts.
