Re: Establishment of a New Service Learning Center

Dear SL colleagues,

There are a number of print resources on this topic that may be helpful:

Establishing and Sustaining an Office of Community Service, published by
Campus Compact in 2000. This comprehensive guide offers community service
directors a wealth of information and models for creating and sustaining
a campus community service office. Topics include student recruitment and
training, liability and risk management, program assessment, funding, and
even office organization and management. This hands-on guide also
contains an extensive appendix with sample forms, including surveys and
assessment tools, organization charts, job descriptions, application
forms, budgets, service-learning plans, memos, progress reports, and
more.   To order, go to www.compact.org

The Service and Service-Learning Center Guide to Endowed Funding,
published this year by Campus Compact.   An essential resource for
service and service-learning centers that want to create sustainable
funding for their programs by establishing an endowment. The guide
summarizes endowment trends and practices, outlines processes for
creating and maintaining an endowment, and offers a comprehensive
resource list. Because each endowment is unique to its
educational environment, the guide conveys much of this information
through profiles of endowed service centers from a broad range of
institutions across the country. The guide also includes advice on
endowment drives and tips for success from experts in service centers,
development offices, and service organizations.  Order at www.compact.org
