The Appalachian Center for Community Service is eager to assist faculty who would like to incorporate a service-learning component in their classrooms. ACCS staff members are available to consult with faculty members about possibilities for service learning -- we will share syllabi, discuss community needs and possible service placements, and answer questions about structuring the class. We also provide classroom assistance, including:

• Assistance with creating developmentally appropriate service sites and student placement within these sites
• Service contracts for use with site supervisors and students
• Correspondence with service sites, such as letters of introduction and quick response to situations that need attention
• Midterm and end-of-semester evaluation and assessment instruments for service sites and students
• Accounting procedures and weekly progress reports that document students' progress toward fulfillment of the service requirement
• Tools and techniques for facilitating reflection sessions in the classroom
• Staff help with designing and/or leading reflection sessions

Below are some other resources for service-learning information:
