Practical Guide for Integrating Civic Responsibility into the Curriculum, (A)

Recognizing that an intentional civic responsibility component was missing from many service-learning initiatives, AACC selected six colleges from around the country to participate in a pilot project whose purpose was to identify service-learning strategies to boost civic engagement and foster civic responsibility among community college students. The six participating colleges are Albuquerque TVI Community College, Albuquerque, New Mexico; Glendale Community College, Glendale, California; Hocking College, Nelsonville, Ohio; Mesa Community College, Mesa, Arizona; Miami-Dade Community College, Miami, Florida; and Oakton Community College, Des Plaines, Illinois. This guide is the result of two years of work by faculty, staff, and administrators at these colleges. (editors)
