Provide orientation and training for Macalester's weekly volunteer programs. Encourage agencies to provide orientation and training. Training is not only educaional, but promotes respectful service. Offer meaningful service work which meets real needs as defined by the community seeking service. Structured reflection on service experiences should be integrated into all aspects of the program to encourage learning.
Broad participation needs to be encouraged.
Outreach efforts should involve students with various diversities. Efforts should also be made to include faculty, staff, students, alums and community members in all aspects of service planning, implementation and evaluation. The Community Service program should reflect the interest and involvement of various departments, organizations, faculty, staff and administrators. The program should attempt to foster an ethic of lifelong service within all members of the Macalester Community. Clipart images are courtesy of ClickArt .
