The Office of Experiential Learning’s Service-Learning program serves three primary clientele:

Faculty who are interested in incorporating service-learning into their courses are invited to join our service-learning community and enroll in one of our upcoming Service-Learning Trainings. These workshops teach participants the fundamentals of service-learning, course construction, and implementation. Once completed, faculty will have access to the various supports available for service-learning course implementation through the Office of Experiential Learning. Further opportunities for research, professional development and interdepartmental collaboration are available through the Service-Learning Fellows Program.

Community Organizations that would like to partner with ACC can inform us of their volunteer needs and project ideas using the Community Partner Service-Learning Request Form. Once partnered, these organizations will be invited to collaborate with our faculty to generate meaningful and reciprocal service-learning experiences that both serve the organization and meet student learning objectives. Sustained partnerships offer community organizations a source of consistent and passionate student volunteers.

Students who would like to gain a deeper understanding of the ways their course content relates to their community can search for service-learning courses in the Registry. If there aren’t any service-learning courses available in your area of study, let us know by emailing  servicelearning@austincc.edu.
