Community Outreach Programs

From its very beginning, St. Joseph’s has prepared each of its students for lives characterized by integrity, intellectual values, social responsibility and service – a life worthy of the College’s motto, Esse non videri: “To be and not to seem.”

Today, St. Joseph’s strives to continue to promote these founding principles, not only to our students, but also to our community as a whole. Throughout the year, numerous volunteer and community outreach activities take place on both the Brooklyn and Long Island Campuses. We hope you will join in the St. Joseph's spirit and help better our communities.
