SERVICE LEARNING IN THE COMMUNITY
LTU2SLC
2021
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
The La Trobe online subject " Service Learning in the Community" provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to undertake 100-120 hours of volunteering and service learning placements in a community setting - either within Australia or overseas. Students engage in a professional setting that promotes the development of active citizenship, social responsibility and in-depth community knowledge. Service learning includes the opportunity to combine hands-on community service with theoretical platforms of reflection and evaluation - a skill that enhances students' employability and self-awareness. In self-sourced community placements, students learn to understand and meaningfully interact with a variety of factors driving, challenging and enriching local communities.
