What is a suitable service learning project?
The objective of service learning is to give back to the community. TR Scholars have been given much therefore much is expected. So service learning projects should be not-for-pay, and should be designed with the objectives of the TR program in mind. There are two approaches to this requirement: all at once, in a major project, or over a number of semesters, one credit at a time. If you wish to complete your service learning all at once, find an organization that needs help with some new initiative that will give you an opportunity to take a leadership role rather than simply clocking service hours. Most service organizations have projects pending for which staffing is insufficient.These are the type of opportunities one should seek out when designing a service learning project for LEAD credit.
