Community Partners
Service-Learning Courses

Most community partners are involved with our service-learning courses program. Students enrolled in designated service-learning classes combine academic coursework with community service. The service experience is directly linked to the content of their course. As a part of the course, students commit to serving 3-5 hours a week for 10 weeks with a specific community partner.

While the benefits of having these students are great, they are most effective when they are integrated into the organization. This doesn’t happen by giving a student a pile of copying to do. It happens by the supervisor making a real effort to help the student understand the whole organization, and creating doable projects that really contribute something.
