Providing basic training and preparation for students prior to engaging in service is essential to high-quality service-learning. Macalester College ensures that this training is available by working only with organizations that agree to train all students. In addition, students are required to attend monthly workshops that introduce them to broader concepts related to service such as nonprofit issues, models of social change, and skill-building techniques.
