Teaching: Add Community-Based Learning to your pedagogy

Community-based learning or service learning is an experiential pedagogy that combines direct service with course learning goals to meet a community-defined need. In partnership with public and nonprofit organizations, the Center for Civic Engagement connects students, faculty and staff with opportunities to build community capacity and impact positive community driven change.

The Center for Civic Engagement provides for faculty who wish to integrate community-based learning into their curricula and scholarship.
