What is an SLI

The Service Learning Intensives being offered at S-CAR combine the most valuable aspects of other professional and academic experiences in order to provide the student with a meaningful learning opportunity while providing a partner organization and its community with a valuable service.

It will be an internship, a community service program and a study abroad utilizing formal study, observation and reflection, formal and informal engagement to bring the expertise of local partners and students together so that they can learn from each other and grow.

The goal is for each student and partner participant, through this experience, to gain a deeper understanding of conflict, and to develop or hone conflict resolution skills.
