Community service is integrated into all aspects of Blyth's programs. Local campus students participate in a number of volunteer projects throughout the year such as Habitat for Humanity builds in Scarborough, Ice Fest in Yorkville, fundraising and climbing for WWF's CN Tower Climb in Toronto and stocking shelves at The Ottawa Food Bank.

Around the world, students in the international credit programs have made crafts with kids in Egypt's Children's Cancer Hospital, prepared meals for cancer and HIV/AIDS patients in Los Angelels and have worked with Coastal Ranger crews in New Zealand. As well, community service focused trips have allowed students to build schools in Tanzania and work on environmental projects in the rainforest and help orphans, school children and the elderly in Costa Rica. Blyth's programs are continually striving towards making a difference and believe strongly that every positive action can create a positive change in this world.
