Center for Service Learning

The Center for Service Learning 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:

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.
 

America Reads and Mentoring

Students work with elementary school children in these literacy and mentoring programs.
 

Bonner Leader Program

In the Bonner Leader Program, students perform service hours (eight to 10 hours/week) in community agencies with leadership development trainings. Offered in conjunction with the Bonner Foundation. Student service is supported by the AmeriCorps Education Award Program.

Volunteer Listings

Students are matched with community needs for ongoing, sustained service.
