Service Learning

Service-learning at Middlesex College provides enriching opportunities to MC students via civic engagement opportunities tied directly back to students’ coursework. Service- learning is an experiential teaching method used to links course content to real-life experiences that focused on a community need or social justice issue. Students taking service learning courses are required to complete a designated amount of volunteer service hours (typically 10-20 hours) per semester with a local, not-for-profit community partner, usually with the entire class. Students then integrate their service experiences with their coursework through ongoing reflection and class assignments. Research shows that students who engaged in service-learning have been shown to feel more connected to the college community, have a better understanding of the course content, and a deeper understanding of the social issues faced by the local community. Service-learning courses are currently available through most academic departments.
