While You're In Service
- Service to the Community
Service-Learning requires a minimum 25 hours of service during a semester. Depending on your S-L course instructor, your site, or if you're counting your experience for two courses, your expected commitment will vary. If you choose to help with a program or organization that requires a minimum that you know you cannot fulfill, please do not select this site.
- Blog on "The Action Exchange"Ever wonder what other students are doing to help the community? Beginning this semester, all service-learners will participate in the new Action Exchange Blog. Through this forum, you can share inspiring stories, scary moments, innovative solutions and other interesting things with your peers.
http://actionexchange.wordpress.com/ Requirement: Write at least one blog entry (min. 250 words) and comment at least once (min. 100 words). Have fun sharing! - Reflection http://bit.ly/KSLreflectionFall2012Reflection is an essential element of service-learning. It's the requirement that captures the essence of your experience in words. While the reflection assignment is not submitted until the end of the semester, you begin reflection even prior to the start of your service-learning, from the moment you think about the site you'd like to help at. The Service-Learning Office holds two series of reflection workshops to engage students in guided conversations about their service. Check the "CALENDAR" tab at the top to view the dates, times, and locations of the reflection workshops. This is the prompt you will respond to for your reflection (more details for service-learners in the Laulima site). Due on-line to the Laulima site by Wednesday April 24th, 2013.
Statement of the Problem Identify the societal problem you have helped to address through your service. Describe how you have helped. Learning Describe key concepts from your coursework that have helped you do your service. Describe experiences during your service that have helped you understand the course material. Change Describe how your experiences have changed your view about the community you helped. Future Goals Discuss personal, academic or career goals that you have achieved through your service. Describe how this experience has shaped your personal, academic or career goals. Describe your plan for future community engagement. Affect Discuss personal, academic or career goals that you have achieved through your service. Describe how this experience has shaped your personal, academic or career goals.
