Service-Learning Courses:
Combine academic coursework with community service for your students. Community placements offer students the opportunity to experience the abstract concepts they are learning in the classroom in a real-world setting. Or work with a student on an independent study while the student connects relevant experiences with curriculum concepts.

Workshops and Institutes:

Want to learn or better your Service-Learning skills? Participate in workshops and faculty professional development institutes offered by Campus Compact, to ensure that you are an effective entity to the Service-Learning mission.

Often times Service Learning projects may take extra funding.
