Who can ENGAGE with Community-Based Learning?

Any students interested in learning more about engaging with local communities to work collaboratively to advance the public good are ideal participants. In this phase, you can engage with the broader community beyond campus and explore working with community partners such as nonprofit organizations, schools, government agencies, and locally owned businesses. In the process, you can learn to actively listen, observe, and comprehend the unique assets and challenges associated with communities; understand the idea of place; develop a聽genuine appreciation of diversity and intentional inclusion; and learn to reflect on their experiences in the community.
