Across disciplines and in every school and college, students are taking part in exciting community-engaged work, and helping build stronger communities in Vermont and beyond. Each year between 80-100 community-engaged learning courses are offered at UVM.
Service-Learning Courses
Body
The best way for students to initially get involved in service-learning is to take an academic service-learning course; between 90-100 are typically offered every year. These courses create meaningful partnerships between students, community partners, and faculty to provide students with hands-on learning in real-world situations.
These courses are designated "SL" on the schedule of courses, meaning that they will include a community-engaged element that connects to the academic content. SL courses range from introductory-level to seminars to senior capstones, and may include:
- direct service, interacting directly with a client population or providing needed services
- consultancy, where — instead of volunteering — you are producing a deliverable or working on a professional-level project for your community partner
- community-based research, collecting and/or analyzing data on behalf of a community partner.
