Implementing the Program (Toolkit)

This section is designed with faculty offering the service-learning course model in mind, but can be flexibly applied to programs offering add-on experiential components to their course or offering internship credit for students’ time. Moreover, much of this guidance assumes that your university is hosting the program rather than referring students to an outside organization. This guidance is tailored to universities in Massachusetts, but you would be able to parallel websites, programs, etc., in most states.

The Campus to Community Program provides a toolkit to help you launch your program. The toolkit contains:

  • Recruitment materials

    • Marketing templates to recruit families and students
