SCHC Service Learning for Community Partners

PageTitle

	What is Service-Learning?
	Service-learning provides students with an opportunity to combine academic instruction with active participation in thoughtfully organized community service.

	How does Service-Learning differ from volunteerism?
	Initially, USC Honors College students may appear to be very similar to other volunteers in your agency. However, it is important to remember the academic component included with the service to the community agency. Students are expected to have hands on experience that is directly relevant to their academic coursework.

	What does Service-Learning ask of you?
	You or your designee are responsible for serving as the on-site coordinator and for communicating this to all staff, volunteers, and service-learners. At the beginning of each semester, you are asked to provide an orientation/training session to each service-learner. Provide supervision to service-learners. Be accessible to service-learners. Complete evaluations of service-learners as requested. Communicate with USC instructor.
