Community Engaged Learning at St. John’s University is a classroom/ experiential site- based program that involves students in some form of required community service that benefits the common (public) good and uses service as a means of understanding course concepts.
Areas of Service
- Hunger/Homelessness
- Healthcare
- Education/Youth Services
- Civic Engagement
- Special Projects
Five Validating Factors of Community Engaged Learning
- Community Engaged Learning must be part of an academic course, with a designated number of service hours and specific learning objectives
- It must serve a real and existing need identified by the community agency
- It must be for course credit only; no financial reward for service
- There must be a reciprocal relationship – service reinforces learning and learning strengthens service; benefits for both SJU students and the community site
- Community Engaged Learning must have a reflective component
