Community-Based Opportunities
Goucher College has a long history of civic engagement-on campus, in Baltimore, and across the world-a history continually revisited by our students and their commitment to volunteerism and community connection. Goucher students embrace the idea "think globally, act locally," and, to that end, we offer them many opportunities to participate actively in the local Baltimore community.
