Guidelines
We must emphasize that Community and Service is NOT simply volunteer work.
Although volunteer work is an extremely worthwhile and valuable experience, Community and
Service learning is geared toward using experiences in the community to help students develop
additional knowledge and skills related to their career pathway. According to the National Youth
Leadership Council, service learning is based around standards of practice in the following areas:
Meaningful Services, Link to Curriculum, Reflection, Diversity, Youth Voice, Partnerships, Progress
Monitoring, and Duration and Intensity. Please see below for more details regarding each
standard of practice, (www.nylc.org).
In order to complete the Community and Service component of the IBCP at Windsor
Forest High School, students are expected to:
Identify a need in the community (we recommend that your project be related to your
career pathway)
Set goals for service learning
Make a detailed plan for service learning activities and have the plan approved by the
Community and Service coordinators
Set up initial meetings with community contacts
Plan and manage your own service learning plan
Work with the community to achieve predetermined goals
Reflect on the experience through their Weebly student blog (or coordinator-approved
alternative)
Log hours weekly through the WFHS IBCP website (http://www.TinyURL.com/IBCPLogForm).
See below for additional details on how to log hours and how to access the Weebly student
blogging platform.
The Community and Service coordinators and teacher-mentors will do the following to
help all students complete the Community and Service component of IBCP:
Work with community and business contacts to develop a network of service learning
contacts and partnerships
Provide students with information about service learning
Monitor the progress of students
Provide feedback to students
Help students achieve their desired goals
