Service Learning Community Partners
CPS believes so strongly in the value of service learning that we made it a graduation requirement, and we look to community organizations and agencies to play an integral role in shaping this program. Community groups are co-educators who bring specific expertise in the issues related to their organizations and in most cases the communities they serve.
Service Learning Community Partners are useful to every stage of service learning. They can assist in the preparation stage by deepening student’s knowledge of issues, serve as a hub where the actual action takes place, and facilitate discussions that allow students to merge course content with their service experience.
