Students who participate in service learning directly contribute their time, effort, passion, and skills to local schools, non-profits, health care facilities, government agencies, conservation organizations, and advocacy groups. This service may be coordinated through an ISU course, department, greek organization, club, or may simply be related to your passion.

Service-learning contributes to local, national, AND international groups through academic appointments that can be directly related to your field of study. Through these contributions, you can enhance your academic knowledge with real-world applications of what you are learning in the classroom. These contributions will be carefully documented to improve your personal and professional skills that can strengthen your resume for future opportunities.

There is something for everyone and remember, signing up does not commit you to any specific event. It only means that you will receive emails about potential volunteer opportunities and from there you will have to indicate if you are available to help during that time. Usually, the notification will come out 2-3 weeks before the event and some are recurring so you should have plenty of time to plan your schedules.
