Community Service-Learning

​Biidaaban Community Service-Learning Program

Community Service-Learning at Nipissing University is an educational approach that enables students to connect classroom theory with practical application in community settings. Students in a course that offers community service-learning placements are required to work a given number of hours over a set period of time at a community organization. The work is for course credit. Community organizations can be non-profit settings or various other organizations that offer public service. The placement gives students real-life experiences to connect with theoretical classroom study and contributes to the student’s individual values, sense of social responsibility and leadership skills. Literacy and numeracy for at-risk and aboriginal youth is a specialized focus of the community service-learning program and some, but not all placements of the program are assigned in related settings.
