Volunteer Community Service Component
Each student is expected to spend a total of 24 hours at the site of his/her choice (with the approval of professor). Suggestions for volunteer experience will be made available. A six to ten page paper describing the experience is the final assignment for this course. A letter signed by the volunteer supervisor on the agency’s letterhead indicating the number of hours completed must be attached to the assignment.
- Based on your volunteer experience, compose a five-minute presentation to be delivered to the entire class. Prezzi/Powerpoint, videos presentations are acceptable. Your final product should be posted in the appropriate Blackboard space.
(Write for me that I volunteered for Organic Chemistry tutoring. an online tutoring for 24 hours)
