Assistance by the Center for Public Service

Assistance with Service Site Location

The Volunteer Center can:

• Contact agencies for placements that match themes of your course
• Match your students to sites and positions
• Give you the list and let you match the students with sites and positions
  • You can allow students to choose from the list and contact sites themselves
  • You can match students to sites based on a pre-course survey (mailed out in advance)
• Assist you, the sites and the students in completing service agreements
• Invite community supervisors to come to your class to speak
  • It is much better if you do this.
  • It is good for you to visit the sites in advance
  • It is good for you to offer site supervisors a copy of your syllabus

Assistance with Orientation and Preparation

The Center staff can come to your class to speak about service-learning.

Assistance with Reflection

The Center staff can:

• Come to your class once or twice to facilitate reflection
• Reflection is best done by you with your students
• The Center can compile reflection resource ideas and materials for you
