 General Program Description
Malone College service-learning trips take many forms. Some are 1-3 day trips in neighboring states focusing on service through physical labor. Others are trips focusing on going to the outdoors, appreciating creation and the great Creator God, and growing spiritually. Still others are longer international trips where participants teach English, help with building projects, or set up temporary medical clinics.
We call all of these experiences “service-learning trips” for an important reason. It is a reciprocal process as trip participants go to serve others and to serve God through their activities, and at the same time take the role of a learner.
There are many opportunities available for serving here at "home" and abroad. For more information, contact Director of Service-Learning Celia King at x8632 or 330.471.8632 or cking@malone.edu.
Program Learning Objectives
Service-learning trips vary in their focus, duration, and location. To provide continuity in the pre-trip training, trip experience, and post-trip debriefing process, the following are learning objectives for Malone service-learning trips. Trip leaders are expected to thoroughly integrate these objectives into their pre-, during-, and post-trip experiences with their team.
The learning objectives are:
1) to understand and articulate a biblical perspective of service-learning
2) to possess effective team-building skills
3) to develop ethnographic skills as a means to valuing culture generally and understanding a trip destination specifically
4) to understand the necessary reflective component in a service-learning experience and develop skills for its inclusion 2007-2008 Service-Learning Trips
Several other trips are in the early stages of planning. Those details will be added as they come in. 2006-07 Service-Learning Trips
