Unit 1: Defining Student Driven Community Service

Introduction

The first step in designing and incorporating a student driven community service project in to your classroom is to understand what such a project entails. There are many different types of service learning and community service projects that students can participate in. However, this course focuses in on student driven projects specifically. We will begin by developing working definitions of student driven and community service and combine them together to identify projects that are examples and non-examples of what we would like to put in place.

Unit 1 Objectives

• The learner will classify the concept of “student driven” by writing a definition in his or her own words.
