More than 75 percent of Duke students pursue service-learning opportunities in Durham and around the world through DukeEngage and other programs that advance the university's mission of "knowledge in service to society." Launched in 2007, DukeEngage provides full funding for select Duke undergraduates who wish to pursue an immersive summer of service in partnership with a U.S. or international community. As of summer 2013, more than 2,400 Duke students had volunteered through DukeEngage in 75 nations on six continents. Duke students have created more than 30 service organizations in Durham and the surrounding area. Examples include a weeklong camp for children of cancer patients ([[Camp Kesem]]) and a group that promotes awareness about sexual health, rape prevention, alcohol and drug use, and eating disorders (Healthy Devils). Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership, started by the Office of Community Affairs in 1996, attempts to address major concerns of local residents and schools by leveraging university resources.<ref>[https://community.duke.edu/duke/index.php Duke University Community Engagement] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111012052152/https://community.duke.edu/duke/index.php |date=October 12, 2011}}.

Project CHANGE is a free weeklong program co-sponsored by the [[Kenan Institute for Ethics]] and Duke Women's Center with the focus on ethical leadership and social change in the Durham community; students are challenged in a variety of ways and work closely with local non-profits.<ref>[http://kenan.ethics.duke.edu/education/project-change/ Kenan Institute for Ethics – Project Change] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120627020034/http://kenan.ethics.duke.edu/education/project-change/ |date=June 27, 2012}}.

Some courses at Duke incorporate service as part of the curriculum to augment material learned in class such as in psychology or education courses (known as service learning courses).<ref>Dean, Ashley.
