PUCRS is a community university and, through its identity and mission, assumes the extension as a commitment essential, in conjunction with teaching and research.

The Pastoral and Solidarity Center, in synergy with the PUCRS University Extension Policy, encourages the strengthening of bonds and the protagonism of students in their relationship with the external community, acting through transversal projects and actions that contribute to the development and comprehensive academic education.
The Ônibus do Bem is a project inspired by Good Bus, created in the USA and innovates by offering people the surprise volunteering. The idea is to break down any type of prejudice that prevents someone from carrying out some voluntary activity, showing that we first need to be willing to contribute and make ourselves available.
The project enables undergraduate and stricto sensu postgraduate students (masters and doctorate), alumni (graduates), professors and collaborators of the University to work voluntarily with the community of the Porto Alegre Metropolitan Region, in areas such as education, culture, health, social assistance and the environment.
Service Learning is a active teaching and learning methodology, which promotes student development through practical application of the knowledge acquired in the classroom.
