How Do I Get Started?
Talk to your Instructor:
- What are the deadlines?
- How many hours are required?
- What else is involved (journals, class presentations, class discussions, reading assignments, etc.)?
- Which agencies are approved for your class (your service experience must be related to your class)?
Choose a placement from the list of approved Service Learning sites:
- Review the list of Service Learning sites given to you in class.
- Carefully read all the information about agencies you are interested in -- including "minimum requirements" and "hours needed."
Complete the Service Learning application and Pre-evaluations:
- This paperwork must be turned in before beginning your Service Learning project.
Show up at your scheduled times, keep track of your hours, and communicate regularly with your supervisor:
- Use the Service Learning Hour Report to keep track of your hours. You must turn this in as well as your required reflection activities to your instructor by the deadline to be eligible for Service Learning credit.
- Have your supervisor complete the "Agency Evaluation of Student." Have the agency mail this to the Service Learning Office.
