What Does Service
Learning
Ask of You? We ask
the following commitment from community organizations that wish to
collaborate with Service Learning:
- You, or someone you designate, will be site
coordinator in the collaboration with Service Learning.
The site coordinator is your organization's liaison with the
Program. This person must be informed about the goals of the
collaboration and generally assumes responsibility for the points
which follow.
- Provide course-related service experiences.
Our staff will work with you in linking the service needs of your
organization with course objectives.
- At the beginning of each semester, give a site
orientation, and basic training information to Service
Learners who will be working for you.
- Provide basic supervision to Service
Learners.
- Be accessible to answer students' questions,
make referrals, or provide information if they seek your help in
their learning process.
- Keep current with Service Learning. Our staff
will make contact with the site coordinator about three times each
semester, to see how things are going, and if there are any
questions, problems or agency changes that impact the
collaboration. We want to maintain strong, open communication with
you in order to keep current with your needs and address any
issues that may arise.
