Abstract

This chapter outlines the many reasons behind a consistent and relevant implementation of service learning opportunities on community college campuses. Community colleges typically serve non-traditional students. As part of a broad and interconnected curricula, community colleges should develop quality service learning opportunities tailored to the non-traditional student and their local community. This chapter offers a roadmap for creating service learning opportunities ranging from an initial community needs analysis to volunteer recruitment and management. The author of this chapter spends a considerable amount of time on reflection activities, which is vital to the success of service learning.
