About this guide - this guide was created as part of a "Service Learning" project done by a BCC student.
Generally, a service-learner at BCC completes a minimum of ten hours over the semester with a non-profit agency or organization doing unpaid service work that is related to the specific course material for which the student is doing the service-learning project. The agency or organization that the student serves and from which he or she learns will be determined by community need and, when options exist, the student's preference.

BCC is the first community college in Massachusetts to provide the notation "Service-Learning Component Course" on the student's transcript beneath each course for which he or she successfully completes a service-learning project, and for which the student and faculty sponsor have submitted the required paperwork. This volunteer work experience and notation enhance the student's credibility as an actively engaged learner and marketability both to transfer institutions and employers. Service-learning also encourages dedication and commitment of the student to his or her community. At present, BCC is planning to recognize the contributions of students who successfully complete three service-learning projects with a Service-Learning Award. Plans to develop in the near future a capstone Community Leadership course leading to a Community Service Leadership Award at Commencement are also being discussed.
