At California State University, Monterey Bay, students are eased into service-learning by University Service Advocates. Each summer, 14 students are trained as Service Advocates, receiving a month-long intensive course in the pedagogy and practice of service-learning at the school s Leadership Academy. Service Advocates then work as service-learning teaching assistants with faculty and support students by working directly with local community organizations to help facilitate placements.
