Recommendations for Service-Learning Courses
- Whenever possible, faculty will plan their service-learning projects to be indirect, research or advocacy based.
- Faculty who incorporate direct service should design remote or virtual activities.
- Projects conducted indoors, on-site of the nonprofit organization should maintain CDC guideline. Visit the facility to observe volunteers at work. If safety protocols are not observed, do not recommend on-site projects.
- In all activities, CDC guideline should be observed:
- Wash hands often. If soap and water are not available, hand sanitizer should be.
- Avoid close contact with others (at least 6 feet a part)
- Cover your mouth and nose with cloth face cover when around others
- Clean and disinfect surfaces
- Monitor your health. If you feel ill, stay home.
- Faculty should communicate with community partners in advance about how a transition to online instruction may impact the service-learning project.
- Consider ways to reflect on COVID-19, global health, the impact of pandemics on communities, and ways that community members can support one another while remaining socially distant.
