方济会社会关怀中心
The FCSC is your headquarters for service learning at SBU. We welcome all members of the university community who have a yearning for justice and peace, respect for life, 以及对万物的崇敬.
旅程从服务他人开始, but also includes reflecting on that experience in the light of faith, 把它和我们的学习结合起来, and becoming agents for positive change in the Catholic-Franciscan tradition. We believe that such a journey will change lives, transform our campus, and create a better world.
你可以通过FCSC做的好事
Direct Service
We aid members of the local community who are in need or who suffer from some form of injustice, and join in regional efforts to address social and environmental concerns.
Education
We help foster a consciousness that focuses on the human and spiritual needs of all people, 这唤起了人们对那些需要帮助的人的同情, and that instills in people a greater sense of responsibility and an urgency to right wrongs.
Advocacy
We help bring about structural changes that lead to a more just society and church. We stand with those struggling to reclaim their dignity or rights, 我们在正义与和平问题上采取公开立场.

Bona Buddies
A youth mentoring program where one-to-one relationships are established between SBU students and local children ages 5 to 15.
All children need the friendship, special attention, and interest of an older person. These relationships often fill the gap in the life of a youngster who needs positive role models and experiences.
同意每个月抽出几个小时的时间, 你可以改变一个孩子的生活. It's a great way to get to know others in the community, to help a child, and to have fun.
你不需要成为英雄，只要一个在乎的人. If you have a serious commitment to serve and a willingness to be a friend to someone who needs one, 你是最佳的Bona Buddy候选人.
You'll attend training sessions and receive help and encouragement from the Bona Buddies team.
Interested? Contact Mike Waseda, assistant director of the Francis Center for Social Concern: (716) 375-2081 or email Mike.

Silver Wolves & Friends with Sisters
Outreach ministries provide companionship to elderly residents in the Olean area.

Friends with Sisters began in 2018 as a pilot program with the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany. Partnering St. Bonaventure University students with Allegany Franciscan sisters allowed each to peek into one another’s lives and offer the opportunity for young people to develop a relationship with a vowed religious woman.

Break the Bubble
The St. Bonaventure University community is sometimes referred to as the Bona Bubble, a place where, like any college campus, 学生感到舒适, connected, and perhaps somewhat isolated from the rest of the world as they focus on their studies.
Break the Bubble is an opportunity for students to leave campus during mid-semester and holiday breaks, 学期之间也一样, to participate in service trips to assist disadvantaged and under-represented populations.

Sustainability at SBU
As a campus community, we joyfully embrace the challenge to live in "right relationship" with the environment, 彼此之间以及周围的社区.
本着亚西西的方济各精神，我们致力于:
- 鼓励各方参与, 通过教学和榜样, to care for and commit to building a more sustainable environment
- raising the consciousness of our constituents with regard to the fragility of the environment and all beings
- 庆祝所有创造物的天赋、善良和美丽.
我们努力将校园对环境的影响降到最低. Our newer facilities incorporate a number of progressive features for conservation. Of course, sustainability is not just about consumption of fossil fuels. We build and maintain our campus with a view toward long-term durability.
We encourage recycling by students and employees with the placement of recycling bins and containers at locations across campus. What gets recycled? You name it: paper, plastic, batteries, ink cartridges, and on and on.

Campus construction
We adhere to sustainable building design components in the construction and renovation of buildings on campus:
- Ground water is used to help cool the Swan Business Center, Walsh Science Center, 以及弗里德萨姆图书馆的珍本增刊, reducing the level of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.
- We preserve trees whenever possible to provide shade and reducing cooling loads in warmer months.
- 麦克金利-卡尼中心, 方济会社会关怀中心总部, 是一个零净建设项目吗, 这意味着在校园的其他地方实现了节能, 通过使用LED灯具等举措, more than offsets energy use by the McGinley-Carney Center. The center also uses solar power and technology that recovers heat from the adjacent campus boiler facility.
