Community-Engaged Learning | Gateway Technical College

Gateway’s Impact Program facilitates community-engaged learning through academic service learning, co-curricular community engagement, leadership development, and volunteer opportunities. Whether you’re a student, faculty/staff or community member, you can get involved.

Academic Service Learning

Academic Service Learning focuses on providing engagement opportunities within classes. These opportunities are intentionally integrated into the syllabus and learning objectives of a class and are required projects with structured critical reflection embedded.

Co-curricular Community Engagement

Students may engage the community outside of the classroom through clubs or leadership development programs, like Level Up Leadership and Impact Fellows. The Impact Program supports and advises clubs that wish to engage in these experiences. Contact Sarah Marbes, Impact Program coordinator, at marbess@gtc.edu to get your club involved.

Volunteer Opportunities

Students can learn about local needs and record their volunteer work in our volunteer portal. The Impact Program also hosts both small and large one-time service events throughout the academic year on campus. Students who are active volunteers can be recognized as Service Scholars at graduation.
