For Students

Students serve a valuable role in the service-learning process because it is you who are actually out in the community on a weekly basis actively engaging with our community partners. We hope you benefit personally, academically, professionally, and spiritually, just as you are trying to affect the community you are serving with. Some benefits include, but are not limited to:

• Deeper understanding of subject matter and complex social issues
• Ability to apply course material to "real world" issues
• Gain hands on skills related to academic/professional area(s) of interest
• Brings curriculum to life with relevant experiences
• A great chance to be introduced to the service opportunities at Northeastern
• Get to know classmates through common and shared experiences
• Get to know your local community and give back to your area
• Learn about new ways to address social issues of interest
• Build resume and skill sets
