    Description
    This course provides service learning in community, civic or legal settings. The focus is on specific problems in the community. Students put discipline-specific knowledge into practice through hands-on work with nonprofit organizations. The service learning experience challenges students to broaden their understanding of social justice issues by providing them with a larger social context in which to understand the systematic problems that members of society face. Students will develop skills and knowledge in providing service to others. Students will gain a better understanding of their responsibility to civic-engagement in a democratic society. This course requires 3 hours per week of volunteer service with local community service organizations, or for students able to obtain paid legal internships, 3 work hours per week can be substituted.
