Center for Service Learning (SERVE)
The SERVE program at Johnson State College offers thoughtfully organized direct-service opportunities that address specific social issues and community needs. We believe that service learning promotes lifelong active citizenship, where community becomes a priority in values and life choices.
The center is organized and run by student leaders and volunteers. Our programs include the following:
SERVE Fri
Starting in fall 2009, SERVE will host a series of Friday service projects around Lamoille County. Students and other JSC community members will meet beforehand to learn about the project, then travel to do the project, then regroup afterwards to talk about and celebrate the experience. This is a great way to get involved, meet other students, and get to know the greater community. Learn more here
CS Local
Service projects are carefully planned in conjunction with community partners to meet the needs of the local community. Our goal is at least one project per week, including occasional overnight "alternative weekends."
Break Away
Break Away, JSC's alternative break program, promotes service regionally, nationally and internationally through service trips over school breaks.
Volunteer Listings
Students are matched with community needs for ongoing, sustained service.
