Giving back to your community is easier than you think.
Service-Learning works with instructors and community partners to provide you with volunteer and service-learning opportunities. Service-Learning staff is available on every campus. We help provide opportunities for you to connect with your community both in-class and outside of the classroom, such as Alternative Spring Breaks, clubs, student leadership initiatives, and Service in Action.
If you have a requirement or an optional assignment to do service-learning hours in your class, use the following steps. Service-learning hours must be completed at a nonprofit agency. If you are looking to get involved on your own, let us know — we can help.
The community partner listing provides contact information for tons of nonprofits in our area. We also have a list of virtual opportunities you can participate in. These are great places for you to complete your service hours. Find an organization that you are interested in and that meets the requirements you have for class. Contact the organization, stating your name and that you are a Central Piedmont service-learning student. Tell the organization the number of hours you need to complete and have your schedule ready to plan your service.
Track your service using the Service-Learning Time Sheet. Your entries will be sent to your instructor (if applicable) to ensure you have completed service hours and selected an approved community partner.
Complete the service-learning evaluation form. Print out the confirmation page that says you completed it.
Be sure you have submitted all electronic documentation forms for your instructor. If you are doing service without needing to for class, be sure you have submitted the Service-Learning Timesheet.
