Process:
To accomplish the task, you will need to work with your entire First-Year class.
Each student will create an account for their On-Line Journal.
The project will consist of 7 steps. Each step will require you to
research information on the internet.
Step 1
Log onto the On-Line Journal and answer the following question:
What do the University's mission and core values means to you?
Step 2
Identify a local service agency. A complete listing can be found on the
Holy Family website under Off-Campus Volunteer Opportunities . It is
crucial that you select an agency that is local and interesting to your class.
Contact the agency and have them identify their needs.
Step 3
Research the community service agency that was selected by the class. Identify
the agency’s mission and develop an action plan for the project.
Step 4
Answer the following questions in your On-Line Journal
a) Why did you choose this agency?
b) What expectations do you have for this project?
c) How does the agency's mission relate to the University mission
Step 5
Complete the community service project.
Step 6
Each student within the First-Year class will
answer the following questions using the On-Line Journal:
a) Did the experience change your thoughts, assumptions and feelings for
the agency's work and how?
b) Was it a positive or negative experience?
c) Would you recommend this agency and experience to a future class?
d) Do you feel that this experience has changed your views
toward your social responsibilities?
Step 7
Instead of creating a paper portfolio, this project will be created in a digital
format and presented in one of the following configurations (podcast, video, powerpoint, etc...).
