The Office of Community-University Partnerships and Service-Learning is one of many offices striving to create opportunities for students to develop leadership in Service-Learning and community service efforts.
Student knowledge of Service-Learning is important to the success of service-learning courses. If you are interested in learning more about Service-Learning, contact our office or visit our Resource Library. You can also browse our list of Service-Learning courses to see what might be available in your department.

The Service-Learning Teaching Assistant Program is designed to provide faculty and their community partners with support for service-learning courses, and to provide UVM students with training and skills in service-learning pedagogy and college teaching. Through a partnership with Vermont Campus Compact and AmeriCorps, students who serve as Service-Learning Teaching Assistants qualify for a monetary education award that can be used to pay back student loans or fund future education costs.
The Community Service Scholars Program was the first scholarship program at UVM to be run by students. Scholars are chosen from among UVM applicants around the state of Vermont for their pre-collegiate dedication to community service and civic engagement, and commit to continuing to serve throughout college.
