National Faith-Based Service-Learning Conference

This National Faith-Based Service-Learning Conference is a unique event focusing on critical issues for service-learning at faith-based colleges and universities. At our most recent conference, about 100 educators and practitioners from a variety of faith traditions gathered at Messiah College to discuss ways to sustain our collective call to service and community engagement.

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 in June, 2012.
