Project Assignment Models

  • Research-Based - groups of students work to solve problems identified by the community
  • One-on-One Interaction - students are paired with individuals from agencies (or clients of agencies) in mentoring, shadowing and/or conversational relationships
  • Direct Service - students are placed in agencies where they are assigned specific, daily tasks by on-site supervisors
  • Project-Based - groups of students work on a community project either for an agency or with the direction of the faculty leader (examples: conference, art show, radio show, video)
  • Resource Development - students work individually or in groups designing resources for agencies (examples: curricula, manuals, website, brochure)
  • Teaching Others - students work individually or in groups tutoring others or providing lessons to groups
