Information For Community Partners

The HSU Service Learning Center is here to encourage co-educational opportunities: situations that involve faculty partners and community partners working together to foster the development of civically engaged citizens.

One of the Service Learning Center's goals is to facilitate creative
dialogues between faculty partners and community partners.

This handbook covers a range of topics, from risk management "dos and don'ts" to practical tips for designing a service-learning experience that is tailored to the strengths of your organization.

Opportunities

As a community partner, one of the best ways to initiate a new campus-community connection is by attending one of our Agency / Volunteer Fairs. These interactive events, hosted on the HSU campus. generally take place twice a year: during the second week of September, and during the second week of February. The Agency / Volunteer Fair is a great venue for meeting HSU students and faculty who are interested in community service. To place your organization's name on the invitation list for an upcoming Volunteer Fair, simply fill out the form below.

There is also space on the form to make requests, ask questions, and provide suggestions. Ultimately, to honor the principle of co-education, we need to hear from you, the community partner. We would like to know the opportunities you see for integrating service and learning in your organization.

Community Partners Interest

HSU Day of Caring is an exciting community mobilization event co-coordinated by the Volunteer Center of the Redwoods and the local United Way, bringing together over 400 students, faculty and staff members, administrators, and community members to perform a half-day of service. Stayed tuned for more details as the event approaches, or call us at 826-4963 for more information.

The “s” designation should be listed as part of the course code for all Service Learning courses on Banner and in the Schedule of Classes, so that students who seek Service Learning experiences can find them. If you are a faculty member teaching a Service Learning course, please be sure to ask your ASA/ASC each semester to submit the course to Banner with an “s” designation. If you are an ASA/ASC, please ask all faculty in your department to identify Service Learning classes each semester, and submit information for these courses with an “s” designation as part of the regular course information as requested for Banner and the Schedule of Classes. If you have any questions about this process, please contact Annie Bolick-Floss at 826-4965 or amb2@humboldt.edu

Humboldt students and faculty use their skills to design interactive exhibits for children at the Discovery Museum, and help youth build their academic and social skills in the Cutten School District.
