Take a Service-Learning Course with us!
Our courses offer you the opportunity to serve with one non-profit agency over the course of the semester. Through structured service projects, you will learn about underlying social issues and how the agency works to alleviate them in the local Oswego community. In the classroom, you focus more broadly on human rights, culture, identity, and privilege, and critically analyze your contribution to social problems and how you can alleviate them. A focus on civic engagement teaches the many different ways you can become civically engaged, including activism, advocacy, purchasing power, and volunteering.
