This course encompasses both community volunteer outreach activities as well as a classroom curriculum. Community and school-based outreach will be supported by classroom lessons and project-based assignments.
Students will serve as volunteers in local institutions of public leadership, such as non-profit and community organizations and civic and municipal service. Placement is based on their own areas of interest and availability. This experience is designed to engage students in using the leadership skills they have developed in the previous three years in the Public Leadership SLC. It is expected that students complete a culminating project in public leadership that serves a real community need and is connected to their learning and experiences.
