AJU students have been doing service programs since the inception of the institution in 1994. Some of these programs include teaching street children, working with HIV/AIDS patients, feeding the poor in Christonbank, and Hatcliff Extension, working with refugees at Tongogara Refugee camp, teaching at the high schools in Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi for a term during the winter period. In the last two years, AJU introduced the service program as a core requirement for all our degree programs. Students are therefore required to complete 100 hours of service program before graduation.
