Service-Learning Centers
Eventually, each campus will have its own service-learning center. At present, centers exist at the Kendall, Wolfson and North campuses. These centers maintain a listing and description of over 160 service sites. Staff are available to assist faculty members in identifying appropriate placements for their students. Each center also maintains a reference library containing relevant articles, course syllabi, and key texts related to service learning.

Student Handbook
This is a comprehensive collection of information for the student engaged in a service-learning project. It contains general information about the strategy, a summary of students’ rights and responsibilities as a volunteer, sections for developing and presenting specific service and learning objectives, volunteer site applications, time sheets, contracts and evaluations, and student satisfaction questionnaires. These handbooks are valuable tools for successful implementation of service-learning. Contact the Service-Learning Center to order sufficient numbers for participating students.

Faculty Service-Learning Directory
This directory includes information regarding the service-learning initiatives of over fifty faculty members at MDCC. The projects are organized by discipline so that you can identify colleagues who might help you in your efforts to utilize service-learning in your specific academic area. The directory also is intended to recognize the efforts of service-learning faculty. It is regularly updated to reflect new initiatives as they are reported to the Service-Learning Center.

Ongoing Technical Assistance
A major focus of the Partners in Action and Learning project is to encourage and promote the effective utilization of the service-learning strategy at MDCC. In order to accomplish this, members of the project team regularly present workshops and conduct seminars to improve our understanding of the pedagogy. These efforts consist of a series of “”how to”" workshops, regular interactive seminars on various issues related to service-learning, and ongoing one-on-one consultation to assist you in your implementation efforts.
