Community-based learning at American University
provides students and faculty the opportunity to respond to the significant needs of the DC metropolitan area. Students practice, re-examine, and deepen their classroom learning through a project in a nonprofit setting where their work benefits others as well as their own intellectual development.
The Community Service Center Provides Support for:
- The Community-Service Learning Program (CSLP) is a community-based learning option in which students attach an additional credit to a course by combining classroom study with active civic participation.
- The Incorporation of Community-Based Learning into Courses: Faculty and students can seek help with community placements, find community-based learning resources and tools, and receive logistical support to more effectively integrate community-based learning into their courses.
