About Service Learning
Service Learning allows you to use your energy and passion in a real and meaningful way.
Participation in this program will open doors for you because you will develop:
- real skills
- in a real setting
- with real community problems
Your resume and job application will shine above others if you include Service Learning projects. Potential employers will know you are a problem solver and change agent in your community.
Many KCC students may choose a service learning experience — even a trip overseas — as an alternative to a traditional break from school.
Why?
Studies show Service Learning participants have higher retention and the investment lasts a lifetime.
Examples of projects that give KCC students practice while helping the community include:
- nursing students delivering injections at health departments
- cosmetology students giving makeovers to clients of a domestic violence shelter
- students engaging in international service projects
If you’re ready to begin your professional development and solve some community problems, Service Learning is where you want to be.
All about service learning
Alternative Spring Break
The Alternative Spring Break (ASB) program is a substance-free, community service-learning trip during the college's spring break. ASB participants will travel in a team to inner city areas in Michigan from March 5th to March 10th. Participants will engage in active service and have the opportunity to gain new perspectives on issues facing Michigan while meeting real community needs.
Service House
On Campus Housing for students who are dedicated to helping their community! Students who live in the Service House will participate in a number of service projects, both on and off campus! They could vary from cleaning an emergency shelter to planting flowers or building a home. The students who live in the house will help the VISTA plan these events, and everyone is invited to participate!
