The number of community agencies, non-profit organizations, schools, and
care facilities in the area to which student referrals can be made is
extensive and constantly changing. Consequently, the following list is not
intended to be comprehensive, but rather, representative of the volunteer
opportunities available to members of the community. JCCC students have
completed service-learning assignments at these locations, and they may be
of interest to you. However, not all sites provide activities or
assignments that will meet your instructor’s requirements for specific
courses. For more information on locations, you can check the websites or
discuss them with the Service-Learning Coordinator.
We welcome student recommendations about other sites which may be
unfamiliar to us. Your suggestions are one way by which our list has
grown. New sites can then be contacted, programs evaluated and their
staff members trained. To have such locations approved, you must contact
your instructor and the Service-Learning Coordinator.
