Faculty & Staff Information

The Center for Community Service-Learning (CSL) and our Faculty Advisory Committee is eager to work with you to bring a new service-learning component to your curriculum. By adding a service-learning component to your course, you can increase students' ability to apply what they learn in the "real world," and increase their likelyhood of graduating. Studies have also shown that service-learning aids in the retention of subject information associated with thier service experience.

CSL also offer funding opportunities through our Faculty Curriculum Development Grants. This academic year, CSUN has been given nearly $50,000 to support the development of new service-learning courses, enguaged department initiatives, and interdisciplinary civic engagement projects. In addition, $8750 from a federally funded initiative has benn allocated to suppor CSUN faculty who teach service-learning classes that bring enrichment activities to after-school gang prevention programs throughout the San Fernando Valley.
