This document provides instructions for a service learning reflection paper assignment. It outlines that students are asked to reflect on the expectations they would have had for volunteering with and assisting a nonprofit organization, had the COVID-19 pandemic not occurred. Specifically, students are asked to write a 500-word, two paragraph paper describing what organization they would have chosen to volunteer with, the work they would have done, and how the experience would have benefited both the community and their personal and professional development. The document also provides details on earning extra credit for actual volunteer hours completed with a nonprofit partner of the student's college.

1. Assignment Details:
As a management graduate, you will be an integral part of
several strategic business decisions.

· Have you ever developed or helped develop a growth plan for
a company, team, or yourself? For example, you may have

your career. If so, how did it go? What did you learn from that
experience?
· Identify your personal measures of success and explain why
each of them is important.

*the altered concept now associated with this written
assignment is to 'reflect' on what expectations would have been,
should the world not have succumbed to COVID-19, allowing
volunteers to assist NONPROFIT organizations affiliated with
NLC/DCCCD*
Service Learning should be understood to be an information,
professional opportunity for students to:
1) Determine what community organization(s) are most
interesting to them, and for what reason(s);
2) Contact organization of choice asap and arrange visit -OR-
get right into volunteering, if possible;
3) Commit to as close to 15+hrs of community service as
possible, and manage a ‘sign-in sheet’ confirming time devoted
to serving organization of choice [*strongly recommend to have
this timesheet signed by supervisor each time students work

2. with organization, and hrs added up*]; and finally
4) Complete a brief [500-word] statement ‘reflecting on
experiences’ with organization [*a class email has been sent out
encouraging students who were unable to volunteer with any
desired organization to complete this 'paper' assignment to the
best of their abilities to generate some credit towards partial
completion of this collective task*] - below are expectations for
what to include in your paper:
Reflection Paper Assignment:
1.
i. Describe the work you did for Service Learning.
ii. How did the work benefit the community?
iii. How did your Service Learning experience help you do
better in your course?
iv. How did your coursework help you with the work you did
for Service Learning?
v. How did the Service Learning experience impact you
personally?
vi. How did the Service Learning experience impact your
future career?
vii. Any final thoughts?
1. Physically volunteering with a NON-PROFIT Organization
affiliated with NLC/DCCCD is not mandatory, however if you
have already done so and include a time-sheet confirming time
committed, your efforts will be considered as extra credit
points [10pts/hr.];
2. The Reflection Paper is expected regardless whether you
physically volunteered or not [this paper should be based
off desired expectations that would have been gained from
working with a NON-PROFIT ORG. of your choice should the
'human experience' be in a different state than current times ~
COVID-19];
3. Users should also notice a link included just below the set of

3. questions associated with this assignment, a link that should
move users into another tab of eCampus, which serves as a
reference to identify a NON-PROFIT Org. already partnered
with NLC/DCCCD [again, this list is included to help identify
an organization if you have never volunteered with community
organizations before, however if you already have an
organization in mind simply confirm that they are a
NLC/DCCCD approved partner ~ please keep your selections to
this list].
