Form Overview
The Project Scope Form is a framework for service related projects intended for students enrolled in SLS2940
or SLS2940 (H). The details on this form are pertinent for helping students choose an agency that aligns with
their academic and pre-professional needs. The form is completed by the organization where the project will
take place after an initial consultation between the offices of Curriculum Initiatives and the agency has
occurred. In partnership, Valencia will work with agencies to address the needs of our students and the
community.
Service Learning at Valencia
Service Learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with
instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen
communities. Service Learning allows students and faculty to blend educational goals with their passions.
Essential components of Service Learning at Valencia:
Reciprocity | Each Service Learning experience should benefit students and the community. Students
are encouraged to identify a community agency and complete their service hours in a way that aligns
with their Meta-majors and career pathways. In doing so, students gain pre-professional experience and
college credits while giving back to our community.
Academics | Students will improve their higher order thinking skills through analysis and
understanding of complex problems. Students will connect the learning in the classroom to the service
experience.
Pre-professional | Students will connect service to career exploration. Students will analyze their skill
set growth related to potential careers.
Civic Engagement | Students will gain an understanding of the community organization and those it
serves. Students will gain an understanding of their role as an active member of the society.
Personal | Students will experience personal growth through challenges and will develop new skills.
