FSCJ’s Center for Civic Engagement works to foster service learning and civic engagement efforts more deeply and consistently across the College. This work is accomplished by:

  • Helping faculty members integrate and utilize service learning as a teaching and learning strategy for achieving student success;
  • Supporting students so they have opportunities to succeed academically, professionally and civically; and
  • Fostering collaboration with community partners by facilitating, supporting and promoting activities that address social needs and issues.

Service Learning and Civic Engagement Overview

Considered a high-impact educational practice by the American Association of Colleges and Universities, service learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with academic goals and critical reflection to enrich the student learning experience and teach civic responsibility. Service learning occurs within College courses led by faculty and differs from traditional community service, which typically occurs outside a classroom context.

Civic engagement is a broad category that includes service learning and refers to individual and collective actions that address issues of public concern.

Benefits

There are many benefits to providing service learning and civic engagement opportunities, such as:

  • Engaging course material that helps students gain skills and develop in the areas of critical thinking, communication, teamwork and civic responsibility;
  • Infusing new energy into course work to create more dynamic, interactive teaching and learning experiences for both faculty and students; and
  • Building stronger relationships between FSCJ and the local community to create a pipeline of future volunteers, employees and donors that meet local needs.

Learn more about the College and community partnership for service learning.

Service Learning by The Numbers

In its first year alone, FSCJ’s Center for Civic Engagement supported more than 700 faculty and student service learning participants who contributed 6,000-plus community service hours.
