National Faith-Based Service-Learning Conference

Service-learning at faith-based colleges and universities gives students opportunities to bring together what the academy often separates:

• Academic knowledge
• Community service
• Civic and social responsibility
• Personal growth
• Theological responsibility
• Spirituality

While many faith-based colleges have strong service-learning programs, there are many others who want to develop new programs or strengthen programs that already exist. Other institutions want to move from strong community volunteer service programs to academically-based service-learning. This conference attempts to bring programs together to allow for engagement of individuals around ideas for propelling service-learning forward at these institutions.

The conference is a biennial event, with the next conference being held at Messiah College on June 10-12, 2010. Please take a moment to view the previous conference brochures below. Any questions can be directed to Chad Frey (cfrey@messiah.edu), the Director of Service and Learning at the Messiah College Agape Center for Service and Learning.
