The mission of the Learn and Serve Center at Kennesaw State University is to promote and facilitate Learn and Serve by developing resources, publicizing the program and educating, engaging and collaborating with the greater KSU community.

Along with Learn and Serve faculty, administrators and the state director of K-12 Learn and Serve, six Americorps* VISTAs  (Volunteers in Service To America) work toward this mission at the Learn and Serve Center by building, supporting and strengthening K-16 Learn and Serve practices at KSU and throughout Georgia.  The Center has identified the following development goals.

1. To develop and maintain regular and continuous faculty involvement in Learn and Serve at KSU.
2. To support faculty, students, and community as they implement Learn and Serve.
3. To develop and support research and evaluation activities related to Learn and Serve.
4. To forge new and expand existing partnerships between KSU Learn and Serve initiatives and businesses, community agencies and KSU student and faculty organizations.
5. To locate and/or assist with the acquisition of internal and external funding for Learn and Serve projects.
6. To establish an organized and highly efficient resource center.
7. To develop effective and mutually beneficial service-learning partnerships with other Georgia institutions of higher education and the K-12 Learn and Serve program.
