Students will conduct interviews and provide volunteer service at a non-profit agency of their choice.

Anticipatory Set:
Ask how many students have completed their interviews at a local agency. Have students name the agencies they visited.

• Distribute to each student Journal Rubric (see Attachment One) and Service Project Rubric (see Attachment Two). Go over the requirements for the Journal entries which are to be completed after the interview and four hours of service at the agency.
• While students are working independently at their non-profit agencies, they should keep a reflection journal of their experiences, describing in detail what they learned from the interview about the organization of the agency, what they did for their service, whether or not their work made a positive difference and how they felt. They should include any interesting anecdotes from their experiences.

While only four hours are required, students are encouraged to maintain a relationship with the agency and continue on-going service. Their experiences here are essential for making their presentations at the symposium and completing their journals.
