From Obscurity to Valuable Contributor: A Case for Critical Service-Learning

Marisa Berman ; Julia Carroll ; Jennifer Maloy

Abstract

This essay argues the benefits of a critical service-learning project in which English Language Learners and developmental writing students documented the stories of Holocaust survivors for a campus-based resource center at a two-year college. The authors demonstrate the importance of designing service-learning projects that promote reciprocity and sustained collaboration among participants and stress the need to structure such projects to meet the needs of community college students.
