One of Central College’s stated goals is to prepare students for all aspects of life beyond college, including work, service and leadership within local, national and international communities (Central Strategic Plan). The college addresses this goal through service-learning, which connects meaningful service with academic goals. Partnerships between the college and community agencies provide opportunities for students to reinforce classroom skills and knowledge while they engage in work that benefits the common good.
The Center for Community-Based learning develops and sustains quality partnerships with approximately 95 community agencies and grassroots organizations throughout Central Iowa.
