The Center for 服务 Learning helps faculty incorporate service-learning into their curriculum and academic lesson plans. When San Jose State University’s Center for 服务 Learning began facilitating service-learning courses in January 2000, the university campus was soon overwhelmed by calls from community organizations desperate 有能力的志愿者. A centralized clearinghouse to recruit and place 菠菜网lol正规平台 students to fill the rising demand for off-campus community service was plainly needed.
In response, the 相关学生 of San Jose State University provided seed m一个y 为csamar E. 查韦斯社区行动 Center in April 2005 to advance the philosophy of service to humanity to which 查韦斯 dedicated his life.
