How does this work?
Service placements can be as short as one afternoon or as long as a semester or academic year. Many students serve in the East Lansing and Lansing area through short-term community projects or sustained placements (2-6 hours per week for a semester). Others serve at national and international sites through week-long alternative breaks.
CSLCE’s database of placement opportunities is keyed to suitability for academic discipline and course content. Enrollment is easy with online sign-up.
For many placements, no prior experience is needed; the community organizations provide orientation and training. The only requirements for a successful service-learning experience are the desire to address social needs or civic issues, commitment to the service, and willingness to grow personally, academically, professionally, and civically.
