P R O J E C T B R I E F AACC-PB-00-2 Creatig Sustaiable Service Learig Programs: Lessos Leared from the Horizos Project, 1997-2000 by Gail Robiso I 1997, the America Associatio of Commuity Colleges bega a three-year grat project to icrease the umber, quality, ad sustaiability of service learig programs i commuity colleges atiowide. Fourtee colleges selected i a atioal competitio for grats ragig from $4,000 to $10,000 per year worked together i AACC s project, Commuity Colleges Broadeig Horizos through Service Learig, to overcome challeges ad lear valuable lessos i developig ad sustaiig academically based service learig programs. AACC brought together a team of four experieced service learig metors who assisted 10 metee colleges. These Horizos Colleges used a variety of activities ad strategies over three years to esure istitutioal ad commuity support for service learig. The strategies fell ito the followig categories: Admiistratio ivolvemet ad support Climate Commuity collaboratio Curricular itegratio Faculty developmet ad ivolvemet Program developmet ad maagemet Studet participatio ad leadership Sustaiability ad istitutioalizatio While the Horizos Colleges received AACC/Corporatio for Natioal Service grat fuds to support their activities, most of the strategies ad actios they idetified ca be achieved by other istitutios, eve without iterally desigated or exteral fudig. The colleges leared importat lessos about developig a solid base of support from which their service learig programs could grow. As a result, from Jauary 1998 through Jue 2000, they reported that 6,689 studets had performed 111,438 hours of direct commuity service, worked with 760 faculty ad admiistrators, ad served 1,951 agecies ad schools ad more tha 75,000 idividuals.

Successful Strategies for Program Sustaiability Participats i the America Associatio of Commuity Colleges Horizos project foud the followig strategies ad actios importat to creatig sustaiable service learig programs. The 14 participatig colleges implemeted these strategies o their campuses ad i their commuities betwee 1997 ad 2000. No sigle college employed every oe of the strategies.

Admiistratio Ivolvemet ad Support Accordig to atioal surveys coducted by AACC i 1995 ad 1997, the support of key admiistrators is crucial to developig ad sustaiig service learig programs. These fidigs are bore out by the experieces of the 14 Horizos Colleges. Ivolvig all levels of the college admiistratio i service learig from departmet chairs ad deas to vice presidets ad presidets is a importat strategy. Admiistrators who teach ca set a example for other faculty by itegratig service learig ito their ow courses. Top-level admiistrators ca provide direct support by idetifyig budget lie items for service learig programs. Nuez Commuity College s Horizos project director is also the college s chief academic officer. A tireless promoter of service learig, she was i a positio to provide budget support as well as moral support to faculty ew to service learig. Studets are powerful advocates. Service learig coordiators or directors should ivite admiistrators to studet reflectio sessios so they ca hear studets make the coectio betwee their service experieces ad their course objectives. Admiistrators may be more likely to promote ad support service learig if a outside expert (i.e., someoe from a atioal orgaizatio promotig service learig or from a college with a sustaied program) speaks o campus, or if commuity agecies demostrate their desire for service learers ad a closer partership with the college. Admiistrators who already support service learig ca ecourage their peers ad faculty to support ad try it. May Horizos Colleges discovered the effectiveess of service learer presetatios to college goverig boards. This strategy works well because studets ted to be the most effective promoters of service learig. Studets see firsthad, ad covey with persoal testimoy, how they ca make a differece i their commuities while learig course material i a more meaigful way. Other strategies the Horizos Colleges foud useful icluded admiistrators providig icetives for faculty participatio, sedig admiistrators to service learig cofereces, ad recogizig admiistrators who support service learig. Climate Service learig programs are more successful o campuses where the climate is supportive, positive, ad celebratory. Existig campus climate may or may ot promote service. Creatig a positive climate is a importat task for service learig coordiators ad directors. Oe way to do this is to recogize studets for their service activities, through scholarships, awards, certificates, ad ed-of-year celebratios. Aother way is to keep service learig i the public eye, through press releases, ewsletters, aual reports, ad ewspapers. Some Horizos Colleges carefully cultivated ad recruited faculty members to lead service learig efforts o campus. By choosig faculty who could ispire their colleagues, the colleges advaced the stadig of service learig as part of campus climate. Lead faculty served as metors to other istructors ew to service learig ad assured academic rigor i curricular itegratio. Coductig service fairs or taste of service evets were successful strategies at Horizos Colleges. Service fairs brig commuity parters to campus to recruit service learers, while a taste of A positive climate was created i differet ways at Horizos Colleges. NorthWest Arkasas Commuity College s project director orgaized regular service learig celebratio ad recogitio evets. Cetury College provided service learig scholarships through a local agecy. Oakto Commuity College s presidet proposed allowig time for staff ad admiistrators to serve i the commuity. 4 AACC/Creatig Sustaiable Service Learig Programs
service usually is a oe-day evet where studets, faculty, staff, ad admiistrators ca work together i eighborhood clea-up or educatioal activities. Additioal strategies icluded developig service learig websites, ivolvig studet orgaizatios ad programs, ad likig service learig to istitutioal missio ad goals. Commuity Collaboratio Effective service learig caot happe without well-desiged commuity parterships. College service learig practitioers should cosider their couterparts i social service agecies, K-12 schools, local govermet, ad commuity-based orgaizatios to be co-teachers i the learig process. May Horizos Colleges implemeted regular agecy orietatios or traiig sessios, to esure that their commuity parters uderstood the differece betwee service learig ad voluteerism. Agecy represetatives appreciated the opportuity to be part of the teachig ad learig process, ad overwhelmigly foud studets to be assets to their orgaizatios. The colleges also developed directories listig all commuity parters, as well as service learig hadbooks for agecies. Uiversity of Ciciati s Uiversity College bolstered its program by askig a key commuity parter to chair its service learig actio team, givig the commuity heighteed visibility ad a strog voice at the college. Buildig relatioships with agecy ad school represetatives is critical i sustaiig college service learig programs. Hostig breakfast or luch meetigs o campus ad visitig each commuity site worked well for may Horizos Colleges. They leared the value of icludig commuity parters o service learig advisory committees or boards, ot oly to build relatioships but also to ascertai commuity eeds ad assets. Other strategies used by the Horizos Colleges icluded recogizig outstadig parters at aual celebratios, developig liks betwee college ad commuity websites, presetig joitly at cofereces ad workshops, ad givig commuity parters access to college resources ad facilities. Curricular Itegratio Service learig is most effective whe itegrated ito course objectives ad learig outcomes. Faculty ofte eed traiig to determie the best way to iclude service compoets i their curricula. Horizos Colleges orgaized workshops, browbag luches, ad oe-o-oe metorig to show faculty how to guide critical reflectio, redesig syllabi, determie appropriate academic products, ad idetify appropriate service sites. Each year more colleges feature service learig i course descriptios i college catalogs ad class schedules. These otatios give service learig a public face ad recogitio as part of the curriculum. This is also a good way to distiguish course sectios that require service learig or offer it as a optio. Some Horizos Colleges offer stad-aloe service learig courses for up to three credits usually through huma services, studet services, or hoors that emphasize the history ad importace of service, commuity buildig, ad civic resposibility. Further strategies icluded maitaiig a syllabi bak, workig closely with chief academic officers to esure academic rigor, ivolvig commuity parters i the curriculum developmet process, ad creatig iterdiscipliary service learig projects. Gadsde State Commuity College icludes service learig i course descriptios ad the college catalog. Richlad College requires its hoors scholars to do service learig. Iowa Wester Commuity College created a separate service learig course as a meas to begi itegratig service ito more disciplies. AACC/Creatig Sustaiable Service Learig Programs 5
Faculty Developmet ad Ivolvemet The Horizos Colleges developed faculty hadbooks ad guides with forms, istructios, ad agecy parter listigs as a easy ad lastig meas of orgaizig ad traiig faculty i service learig. Hadbooks are usually distributed at faculty traiig workshops ad are used as resources throughout the academic year. Some Horizos Colleges provided fuds for faculty to atted or preset at service learig ad discipliary cofereces, or to write for service learig publicatios. More ad more commuity colleges have ceters for teachig ad learig that coordiate faculty developmet opportuities. Likig service learig to such ceters proved advatageous for some Horizos Colleges as a way to beefit from existig ifrastructure ad resources ad maitai academic rigor. Desigatig a faculty coordiator helped colleges whose service learig staff was based i studet services, because faculty ted to liste to other faculty. This strategy helps bridge the gap that sometimes exists betwee academic affairs ad studet affairs. Experieced service learig faculty also recruited ad metored ewer practitioers i oe-o-oe relatioships. Iterestigly, providig faculty stipeds as icetives was ot high o the Horizos Colleges list of effective strategies. May participats foud that oce a faculty member tries service learig, stipeds are uecessary ad sometimes superfluous. More importat is persoal support ad ecouragemet provided by faculty colleagues ad admiistrators. Skagit Valley College iitiated service learig exterships i which faculty serve at commuity agecies to lear about their work, develop closer ties to agecy directors, ad create more meaigful service opportuities for their studets. Other successful strategies cosisted of givig presetatios at departmetal meetigs, puttig service learig o ew faculty orietatio agedas, icorporatig service learig i teure ad promotio processes, ad icludig service learig i faculty job descriptios. Program Developmet ad Maagemet Assessig ad evaluatig service learig is importat to esurig program sustaiability. Gatherig outcome-related data ca help prove the value of service learig, documet quality as well as quatity, ad idetify areas that may eed improvemet. Horizos Colleges with istitutioal research offices coordiated service learig assessmet with ogoig iitiatives ad istitutioal goals. Assessmet results should be reported to program stakeholders faculty, admiistrators, studets, ad commuity parters for cotiual program improvemet. Johso Couty Commuity College s service learig coordiator works with the office of istitutioal research to distribute, collect, ad aalyze studet ad faculty surveys. Miami- Dade Commuity College has a cetralized ceter for commuity ivolvemet, with service learig staff o each of its six campuses. These same stakeholders should be represeted o a service learig advisory committee, board, or actio team that meets regularly to provide feedback ad guidace o program maagemet, commuity eeds ad assets, ad curricular itegratio. Providig space for a service learig ceter or office is importat to program logevity, visibility, ad studet ad faculty recruitmet. Staffig ca be provided by a dedicated coordiator, existig studet services or voluteer ceter persoel, faculty, Federal Work-Study studets, or AmeriCorps VISTA members. Additioal strategies implemeted by Horizos Colleges icluded developig aual objectives ad 6 AACC/Creatig Sustaiable Service Learig Programs
marketig plas, producig ad followig timelies, ad focusig o quality over quatity. Studet Participatio ad Leadership Studets ca play may roles besides that of service learer. Sustaiable programs use studets as service learig ambassadors to recruit their peers to do service learig, track studet hours, commuicate with agecy represetatives, ad assist faculty with studet placemet. Studets ca lead reflectio sessios, serve o service learig advisory committees, ad make presetatios to college goverig boards, faculty, studets, ad commuity parters. Ivolvig studets i service learig program maagemet gives them a chace to develop leadership skills, work i teams, ad collaborate with diverse populatios. Southwester College desiged a service learig studet leadership course for studets to develop ad practice collaborative leadership skills, lead service learig projects, assist with studet ad agecy orietatios, ad provide guidace ad support to other service learers. Some Horizos Colleges ivited commuity parters to give i-class presetatios about their agecies to ecourage studet ivolvemet i ad excitemet about service learig. This was a effective recruitmet strategy to icrease studet participatio. Colleges ca celebrate ad recogize studet achievemets i service learig at aual evets; with certificates, awards, ad scholarships; ad by providig otatios o trascripts or developig idividual portfolios that feature their service experieces ad reflectios. Other strategies used by the Horizos Colleges icluded ecouragig studets to iitiate their ow service learig projects, sharig reflectios i campus-wide sessios or i publicatios, usig Federal- Work Study studets as program coordiators, ad parterig with Phi Theta Kappa chapters. Sustaiability ad Istitutioalizatio The Horizos Colleges foud that service learig was likely to be sustaied whe tied to istitutioal iitiatives such as recruitmet, retetio, ad workforce developmet. Icorporatig service learig i a college s missio statemet, log-rage or strategic pla, grat proposals, ad accreditatio reports are also useful strategies. A college budget that allows for a full- or parttime coordiator i a service learig office is a sure sig of sustaiability. So is the participatio of key players with the political power to support ad esure the program s durability. Academic departmets i some Horizos Colleges made service learig a degree requiremet, cemetig ties betwee academics ad commuity service. Assurig academic itegrity ad rigor i all aspects of service learig is key to log-term sustaiability ad istitutioalizatio. Additioal strategies icluded featurig service learig i college catalogs ad websites, developig state or regioal cosortia for service learig, ad fosterig studet, faculty, ad commuity advocacy for service learig. Gledale Commuity College has a permaet service learig ceter ad Albuquerque TVI Commuity College has a office of experietial educatio, thaks to successful service learig projects ad backig from upper-level admiistrators.

Idicators of Service Learig Istitutioalizatio The America Associatio of Commuity Colleges developed the followig list of idicators of service learig istitutioalizatio. Colleges may istitutioalize service learig without doig every item o this list. These are simply idicators that several Horizos Colleges have attaied or doe, ad are meat to suggest directios for program maagemet ad improvemet. College missio statemet specifically metios The college s goverig board is aware of service learig. service learig. Strategic pla icludes service learig.

Service learig advisory committee/board meets at least oce a year. The college s chief academic officer sits o the service learig advisory committee/board. At least oe recogitio/celebratio evet is held each year. Service learig publicatios are available i the college library, service learig resource ceter, or collectio. The college s chief executive officer supports service learig. Federal Work-Study or hoor society (e.g., Phi Theta Kappa) studets assist with service learig program maagemet/activities. Service learig orietatio for commuity parters is held at least oce a year. The college hosts ad/or visits commuity parters at least oce a year (e.g., at service learig advisory committee/board meetigs, service fairs, oe-o-oe meetigs). Commuity parters provide studets with i-class ad/or o-site orietatio. 8 AACC/Creatig Sustaiable Service Learig Programs
