Ualberta Community Service-Learning - Csl

Welcome to Community Service-Learning (CSL) at the University of Alberta! Questions? Comments? Please contact us.

Community Service-Learning (CSL) offers University of Alberta students the opportunity to work and make a difference with a local community group, while reflecting and putting their experiences in context within a university course. These community partnerships provide opportunities for students to gain valuable experience, and to contribute and increase their awareness of the social and political life of their community.

When enrolled in a CSL class, students participate in a community project that is both relevant to the course content and useful to the partnering non-profit organization. Students typically spend about 20 hours over the semester with a community organization; course assignments and activities help students learn from and through those experiences.
