Community, Social Service, and Education (CoSE) is dedicated to serving the public through mission or cause-based work, which may focus on improving the lives of individuals, families or communities. Professionals in CoSE are often involved in matters such as education, mental health, human welfare, social work or economic development. This work can occur in a classroom, public service office and non-profit organizations. Compassion and cultural awareness are critical for success in these roles.

"Coaching with Up2Us Sports has influenced my teaching career because it allowed me to see how much I enjoyed being around the youth. Seeing my impact as a positive role model to my athletes made me realize the big impact I could have on my community as a career. The biggest skills Up2Us sports has given me that benefit my teaching career is learning about the context of my community and using TLC praise in the classroom."

"As a VISTA for Up2Us Sports, I was able to take the time to figure out who I was, what I wanted to do, and how I wanted to do it — all while contributing to communities I care about. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the people I met and many who are still my friends."
