Center for Service-Learning & Civic Engagement

Get Involved in Service-Learning

Service-Learning at Eastern Florida State College is a three-way partnership among students, faculty and community partners that enables students to earn course credit while gaining hands-on volunteer experience. The Center for Service-Learning and Civic Engagement (CSLCE) coordinates this invaluable program which has generated more than 3 million hours of community service since it started 30 years ago. Get started by exploring the options and links below.

Students: Learn by Volunteering in the Community

Students who participate in Service-Learning can use skills learned in the classroom to impact their local communities. Plus real-world experience and service hours on academic transcripts will give students an added advantage when they enter the workforce. Visit our Student Info page for complete details on how to sign-up.

Students who document at least 75 hours of service and have at least a 2.5 GPA are also eligible to apply for an annual Service-Learning scholarship.

Faculty: Add a Service Component to the Classroom

Faculty members who incorporate Service-Learning into their classes increase learning opportunities for students, improve community relations and experience improved student retention. EFSC faculty in 450 course sections use Service-Learning to enrich their students' learning experience.

Adding Service-Learning to your classes is easy: review the step-by-step instructions.
