Student Guide to Service Learning

Welcome to service-learning at Richland College. Service-Learning is about helping you grow and develop, while at the same time helping meet important community needs. Although we realize that your service-learning project will require a great deal of effort, and even sacrifice on your part, we can almost guarantee you that you are about to embark upon an experience that will make a major contribution to your learning and personal growth. You will be joining thousands of college and university students all over the United States who are involved in service projects designed to enhance classroom learning, foster civic responsibility, and meet community needs. On behalf of Richland College, the Service-Learning Program, and the agencies you will be assisting, we offer our appreciation and encouragement.

It is very important that you review this Handbook carefully as it will guide you through the experience, as well as provide you with answers to frequently asked questions. It also includes all the forms you need to successfully complete your service-learning project.
