Service-Learning Scholar Program

The Service-Learning Scholars program is designed to assist faculty members with management of their service-learning classes while developing a cadre of student service-learning leaders. The Center for Community Service-Learning is pleased to offer five additional $1000 Service-Learning Scholar Grants for Student Assistants this academic year. Service-learning is a pedagogy that combines explicit academic learning objectives, preparation, and analysis with meaningful activities in the community. The grants will support students assisting full and part-time faculty who are teaching service-learning classes in Fall and Spring, while proving leadership training to selected students. Service-Learning scholars must work 100 hours over the course of the year and attend leadership class each Tuesday during Fall semester from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. These classes will cover a wide-range of leadership skills including team building, conflict resolution, diversity training, listening and communication skills, peer counseling, event planning, reflection activity assistance, and program management.
