Service-Learning is an opportunity for students at UW-Eau Claire to give back to their local or home community or even a community found abroad. It provides a way to learn skills, investigate careers, and build a personal network. Service-Learning makes education a collaborative effort; students benefit society by exercising the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.
Completing 30 hours of Service-Learning is a requirement for graduation from UW-Eau Claire.
You can customize your own service-learning project! Here are some important things to keep in mind:
Basic rule of thumb is working for non-profits. This includes Faith based organizations, schools, governmental entities, and anyone with a non-profit tax status.
You can do your service-learning for a for-profit, but you cannot help them make money.
It is best to talk with a member of the Service Learning team if you have questions. You can schedule an appointment through Navigate.
