Assessing the Impact of a College Service-Learning Course Focused on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Liberal arts education in the United States seeks not only to prepare students for a specific career but also to develop well-rounded citizens. As part of the core liberal arts curriculum at Lynn University, all students must complete a service-learning course known as the Citizenship Project. A core component of the course is a student-designed service-learning project executed each year. In 2019, the Citizenship Project was revised to align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ensuring that each project would seek to contribute to one of these goals. The purpose of this study is to examine which SDGs the service-learning projects addressed and summarize how the projects contributed to the SDGs.
