Project Description: Community Service Learning presents a unique opportunity to develop a better self understanding of why one might choose social work as a field of study and discover where one could make a valuable contribution in the future as a professional, volunteer and citizen. It is an opportunity for students to explore the world of practice and find social work meaning in every day life. It also represents a significant part of the course grade. The assignments related to this experience are a written paper outlining their experience and a 10-15 minute oral presentation to the class.
