The Community-based Learning Faculty Fellows Program supports faculty in the development and implementation of community-based learning (CBL) projects in their courses. CBL projects are designed in collaboration with a community organization, with the goal of addressing both community-identified needs and meeting student learning outcomes. CBL projects can be integrated into existing courses in any discipline. Depending on the course and community partner needs, community-based learning projects can vary in duration from a few weeks to semester-long projects.

The Faculty Fellows Program supports faculty by:

• Connecting faculty with potential community partners
• Providing consultations, guidance, and resources for CBL project and curriculum design, with an emphasis on best practices
• Providing logistical support for CBL project implementation
• Creating surveys to assess the impact of CBL on faculty, students, and community partners

Time Commitment: Estimated 40 hours

Compensation: Faculty Fellows receive a $2,000 stipend after implementing a CBL project in their course, attending meetings, and completing evaluation activities. 

Eligibility: This is an application-based program. All PCC faculty are eligible to apply (full-time, part-time, credit, and non-credit).

Application Dates and Deadlines: TBD
