Special Concerns about Community-based Learning
Volunteers are very different from students engaged in community-based learning. Volunteers are free to choose where they want to serve and the scope of their service, limited only by interest, time and volunteer requirements set by your organization. Community-based learning students are required to interact in the community as part of their course. Therefore, the Center for Civic Engagement is seeking the most challenging, interactive and meaningful placements for these students.
What that involves: In order for the CCE to approve the opportunities you want posted for volunteers and for community-based service assignments on our database, we need to conduct a preliminary site visitation that ensures we have information about your organization including contact information, site evaluation and determination that your organization meets our criteria regarding the safety of our students and for community-based service assignments, the learning objectives we have established as part of our civic engagement program. In order to Schedule a Site Visit please fill out one of our Volunteer Request Forms and our Program Director for Community Outreach will contact you!
