Faculty and Staff

How do you include volunteerism in the classroom?

One way is through service-learning: Service-learning is a teaching method that combines community service with academic instruction as it focuses on critical, reflective thinking and civic responsibility.

The process will…

  • require students to participate actively in organized service;
  • conduct service to meet the expressed needs of the community;
  • utilize integrated service to enhance the academic curriculum; and
  • include structured means for the students to reflect on the service experience.
Service-learning courses provide means for students to connect their service experience to their coursework, personal development, and civic involvement. The goal of service-learning is to improve the quality of life of the entire community through partnerships, create mutual understanding, make learning come alive, and prepare students for lifelong community service and civic engagement.

 

Community Partners

We want to make recruiting student volunteers and partnering with the Coastal Carolina University easy for you!

The Volunteer Services Center acts as a liaison between students and the variety of volunteer opportunities in the community. The staff counsel individual students to help match their goals with the best volunteer opportunity, work with student organizations to maximize their service projects, and coordinate annual campus-wide service events.

Based on your interests, we will match you with local nonprofit organizations to volunteer on an ongoing basis.

This is a great opportunity to show your Chanticleer Pride in the community.
