What is community-engaged learning?

A community-engaged learning course integrates collaboration with off-campus community partners into the curriculum in a way that benefits both students and the community. Students produce or do something of value for the partner, and the community work deepens learning related to course goals.

 

What might students do in a CEL course?

In a CEL course, students might engage in applied projects, research/problem-solving, consulting, collaborative educational or creative pursuits, or direct service for community organizations in the context of the course.

What types of organizations count as "community partners"?

Community partners include mission-driven organizations that benefit our community - such as nonprofits, grassroots groups, government agencies, and social enterprises.
