The Center for Community Learning & Leadership, formerly known as the Center for Service Learning, was established in January 2000 as part of the Office of Undergraduate Studies. Responding to a call in higher education from university presidents, government, and the California State University, San Jose State institutionalized community learning within the academic program.
The CCLL helps students develop the knowledge, skills and motivation to become lifelong participants in public life in an informed, committed and constructive manner, with a focus on solving community problems.
