Service Learning

Experience is not what happens to you; it is what you do with what happens to you. -Aldous Huxley

At the College of Central Florida, we embrace Service Learning, an opportunity to create experiences where students take learning to higher levels of understanding through civic engagement that benefits both the student and our community.

Working together to meet a specific need, students commit to a specified amount of time (typically 10-20 hours) to complete a service project as part of an academic course. Following the experience, they return to the classroom and reflect on their connections made through service to course-specific concepts.

There are many ways for your organization to experience this mutually beneficial process:

  • Request to partner with CF (email mccammoj@cf.edu)
  • Identify a project with a set agenda or outcome needed (The options are limited only by your imagination and can be designed for a particular class or a larger group of students)
  • Organizing and promoting an event
  • Setting up a resource room
  • Reaching out to the community through telephone campaigns
  • Creating websites
  • Providing a financial literacy class for clients
  • Providing child care during an event
