Cis-120 (Computer Concepts One) Community Service-Learning Project Guidelines

          If you are adventurous and a self-starter, to satisfy your group presentation project you may complete between ten and twenty hours of
volunteer work at a social-service agency, community resource, educational institution, or a nonprofit or governmental organization.  Your
participation in this project will contribute to your community and fill a need for the organization.   You will get to do something meaningful,
and learn how computing- related activities occur in real world work environments.  You will need to be flexible.  Your experience can lead
to new job skills, a letter of recommendation, a career possibility, expansion of your resume, and new social skills. 
          Your key contacts/sponsors are aware that you are studying Introductory Computing concepts and understand you have only a limited
amount of time to invest.  .  These organizations operate with limited budgets and staff and will appreciate your professionalism and commitment. 
The staff and their clients will depend on you. 

Each student will be provided with a packet at the beginning of the second week of the term.  This packet includes three forms, three flyers,
and a service learning project placement guide.  The *three forms that must be turned in to receive credit are:  (*  three forms are also available online)

In addition to these three forms, each participant must complete a Power Point Presentation as described on the
Service Learning Assignment Page on Our website. The Presentation Guidelines are detailed under “What you must include in your presentation.”
