Volunteering: Community Engaged Learning II

3 credits · Undergraduate

Volunteering: Community Engaged Learning is an opportunity for students to reflect on the global/local and theory/practice dynamics of the world around them. Other programs and departments use terms such as internship, volunteer or co-op placements. IDS has adopted the term community engaged learning because it reflects the interplay between academic and practical skills development that this program offers. This course combines classroom learning with volunteer work experience in a community organization in Halifax or other parts of Canada. Students are required to volunteer for a minimum of 60 hours OVER THE COURSE OF BOTH TERMS -approximately 3 hours/week. In addition to this work, students are required to complete course readings and assignments.
