The Service-Learning Advisory Board is comprised primarily of faculty members, as well as of staff, students and community partners. The purpose of the Advisory Board is to advise the Office of Leadership and Service-Learning on how best to increase the quality and quantity of service-learning at UNCG. We seek members from a variety of academic disciplines and experiences with community partnerships to ensure diverse opinions and timely expertise on the topic of service-learning.
