The Wisconsin Institute seeks to create a sustained state-wide public service initiative, including systematic academic (and non-academic) service-learning that brings students from the classroom at both the secondary and post-secondary levels into under-served communities to address pressing community needs. Rather than reinvent existing programs, the Institute’s primary role will be to collect, distribute, and assess academic service-learning models and promote best practices through education, outreach, and training. It will also facilitate collaboration among faculty, students, and community partners by actively matching academic service-learning initiatives through UW-Extension to efforts in the UW Colleges.
