Center for Cummunity Service Learning Center for Community Service Learning T he Center for Community Service Learning has developed Reach Out and Experience, a program designed to provide opportunities for students to participate in educational and important public service experiences. Volunteer and service-learning experiences are beneficial for both students and the community. For many community organizations, students augment service delivery, meet crucial human needs, and provide a basis for future citizen support.
Students have an opportunity to enrich and apply classroom knowledge and explore careers or majors.
They experience personal growth, enhancement of self image, develop employment links, improve citizenship, and most importantly, foster a concern for social problems and develop a sense of responsibility and commitment to human service. The Center assists in recruiting and placing students in programs or areas such as literacy, community development, subsistence services, health care, mental health, and senior services, to name a few. The opportunities are as unique and diverse as the people who desire them. Work study funds are also available for some positions.
