This course introduces students to service-learning as an approach to experiential education which promotes active and engaged citizenship, integrates and applies academic knowledge and skills to address community specified needs, and provides knowledge of effective practices in community organizations. Students participate in meaningful civic service experiences in partnership with community non-profit or governmental organizations and meet in a structured class setting to read, write, think, and discuss their experiences as well as concepts of civic engagement. Through this process, students recognize the reciprocal benefits of academic service to the community and their own professional development, demonstrate cultural competency, develop a long-term plan for service, and enact positive change in their community.
