Partnership opportunities

Service Learning happens when great partnerships are crafted between faculty and community partners.  Healthy partnerships are critical to the success of service learning.

First as a potential partner it is important to understand how service learning differs from community service in that service learning incorporates a rigorous academic component that is faculty led and credit bearing for the student.

Community agencies and schools interested in participating in a service learning partnership with a faculty member at the University of Arkansas are invited to contact Dr. Lisa Bowers (lmbowers@uark.edu) or the Service Learning Coordinator (svclrn01@uark.edu) to discuss potential projects.  Potential partners are encouraged to consider projects that will, in result, provide them with tools to increase the depth and breadth of their programming.

Below is a sample of service learning initiatives through the U of A that we invite you to explore! Visit our Courses page  to see a complete list of courses taught by semester.
