New Directions for Community Colleges, n211 p39-46 2025
Service-learning is a recognized high-impact approach in higher education that provides an accessible and valuable form of field experience for learners. A curricular framework integrating service-learning into a senior culminating experience was adapted and contextualized at a community college in Seattle to respond to needs among students who have been underserved in education in a burgeoning Community Health and Education (CHED) Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) program. The addition of service-learning in the creation of a capstone portfolio reflects principles of Knowles' theory of andragogy and upholds community cultural wealth, yielding promising results for developing practice. The purpose of this article is to describe and recommend the integration of service-learning into capstone experiences for comparable programs in community college learning environments.
