For Community Partners
How service-learning partnerships work
A good relationship with our community partners is essential to a successful service-learning program. In many ways, the community partners are like another teacher. Not only do they guide the student experience and provide role models of professionals in the field, but they also assist students in reflecting upon that experience.
A service-learning course can have one community partner or many partners, depending upon how many students are in the class and what the community organizations need to accomplish. No matter how many students there are or what they do, it is important that the service fit the mission and goals of the organization.
In addition to providing students with service opportunities and supervising their work, community partners participate in the evaluation of the students and often attend final presentations or discussions featuring the work of the students.
The following resources provide more detailed information that may be of assistance.
