The many faces of service-learning

Pueblo Community College - CO, Colorado

Service Learning at Pueblo Community College has many different faces. Both academic and vocational classes have included service in the curriculum. Math, English, Respiratory Therapy, Travel and Tourism, Occupational Therapy, Business Management, and Computer Information Systems have all had students doing a wide variety of service in the community.

Students have volunteered with nursing homes, ambulance companies, social services, police departments, museums, and chambers of commerce. We also have an AmeriCorps group here on campus involved in the CALI literature initiative. They have spent this academic year tutoring in elementary schools, working with the Boys and Girls Club, doing tutoring training and participating in various special projects such as National Dr. Seuss Day.

We value Montana Campus Compact for creating an awareness and dialogue in the state among higher education institutions, community partners, our higher education commissioner's office, and various other entities about the importance of community involvement for college and university students. The AmeriCorps and VISTA programs are also very valuable resources."
