Mission

Our mission at the Office of Service-Learning is to enrich MCC student learning, and to address community-defined needs through student civic engagement.

“Service-Learning means a method under which students learn and develop through thoughtfully organized service that: is conducted in and meets the needs of a community and is coordinated with an institution of higher education, and with community; helps foster civic responsibility; is integrated into and enhances the academic curriculum of the students enrolled; and includes structured time for students to reflect on the service experience.”
