Whether or not you were involved in service during your time here at BC, there are opportunities after graduation that allow you to explore more deeply your interest in service and justice issues. Over the years, hundreds of BC graduates have pursued full-time service through a variety of programs. Explore your passions, learn new skills, build community, and make a difference for and with others.
