Students

Create your own service-learning project. Open up new pathways in your community leadership, your future career, and your education. You can do this on your own, with your friends, or as part of a class. Your project can be a one-time event or an ongoing volunteer experience.

To get started, decide what change you want to make in our community, our environment, or our world. How do you want to make a difference? What do you want to learn so you can have an even bigger impact?

Find community organizations that can become your partners in developing an action project. To get ideas for community partners, you can start with our Volunteer Opportunities List. You can also contact your Neighborhood Association, political organizations, or other community leaders. Contact potential partners and set up a time to meet and talk about possible projects.

Before, during, and after your project, make time to reflect on your experience. Ways of reflecting include writing in a journal, talking with other volunteers in your project, writing letters to the newspaper, and giving presentations. Reflecting helps you make sense of your experience and widen your impact.
