Overview
Being a community partner for service-learning can seem confusing- but we are here to help. The key item is knowing that service-learning is different from true volunteerism. Service-learning combines academic study with practical experience and civic engagement.
Students will work with your organization for a semester (usually 20 hours per semester...this depends on the faculty member's requirements) applying something he or she has learned in the classroom. The student learns from you the community partner (making the information learned in class tangible) then brings that knowledge back to the classroom.
