Duke Service-Learning is a signature program of Trinity College of Arts & Sciences. Service-learning and community-engaged (SLCE) courses deepen student learning by connecting academic curriculum to community engagement and providing opportunities to translate theory into lived experiences. Service-Learning is built on a foundation of collaborations between university students, faculty, and staff and their community partners. We support courses in a variety of academic disciplines, including sociology, education, world languages, documentary studies, music, dance, global health, and economics, among others. Through these courses and SLCE experiences, students have opportunities to engage effectively with communities on issues such as the environment, socioeconomic inequities, public policy, health, immigration, education, and more.
Our primary goal is to provide support and assistance to faculty members seeking to integrate service-learning and community engagement into their academic objectives. Learn more by contacting us for a consultation or visiting the links below.
