University of Florida's Center for Leadership and Service

The Center for Leadership and Service (CLS) at the University of Florida provides the structure and resources to prepare students to become productive citizens and assume roles of leadership and service in a culturally diverse and increasingly complex society. The Center fosters lifelong service and civic participation by engaging the University with its greater community in action, change and learning.

The CLS, which is part of the Dean of Students Office at the University of Florida, was founded on basic concepts of an integration between leadership education and programs; community service and service learning; and community engagement.
