Two Classes for Service Learning:Emerging Leaders and Service Learning and Civic EngagementThe Emerging Leaders class (EDUC 130), established at State Fair Community College in 1994, is a 10-week one credit-hour fall course which focuses on leadership education, training, and development as an inclusive aspect of a college education. Each summer, SFCC students in good academic standing are invited to apply for the program which accepts 25 students. As participants in this program, students attend weekly sessions on Wednesdays at 3:30 that focus on topics including social responsibility, leadership ethics, keys to successful fund-raising, and citizenship skills. In addition, they complete a twenty-hour service learning project with a not-for-profit organization in Sedalia or their own communities. The 2007 session begins September 5 and concludes November 7. Since 2003, a three credit-hour course that focuses specifically on civic responsibility in rural and urban communities has been offered in the spring. In this class titled Service Learning and Civic Engagement (EDUC 132), students also complete 20 hours in their local communities and document their observations in a reflection portfolio. In the spring of 2008, a Service Learning trip is tentatively scheduled for London, England and Limerick. Ireland. This trip is designed as a learning experience that stresses cultural appreciation, problem-solving, and teamwork as students study the footsteps of English, Irish and American leaders of social responsibility.
