WHAT IS CSL?Community Service-Learning (CSL) makes learning come alive by linking academic coursework to community-based experiences. Students bring their time and talents to community organizations as part of their studies, challenging them to engage with their learning in fresh new ways and to explore relationships between theory and practice.

HOW DOES CSL WORK? CSL is integrated into a course through an ongoing and collaborative process. Community partners describe their volunteer and research needs to us, and instructors design their course projects and goals to integrate these community-based experiences into the course curriculum for students.

What are the benefits of CSL?Students develop personal, critical thinking and problem solving skills; enhance skills in communication, collaboration and leadership; increase understanding of course material and learn to apply course material to new situations; gain hands-on experience in the not-for-profit sector; and learn more about social issues and their root causes.
