Service Learning + Volunteer Network

The Volunteer Network connects UW-Eau Claire students with volunteer service opportunities in the community. This program, previously the CALL program, was established in 1974 upon the principles of service and learning through community involvement and volunteerism.

In 1995, UW-Eau Claire identified service-learning as an essential component of a comprehensive baccalaureate degree. The Center for Service-Learning was established to develop and implement this new requirement for graduation. While the Volunteer Network and Service-Learning share similar missions and resources, they are stand-alone, independent programs. Although volunteer activities through the Volunteer Network may be adapted into a service-learning project, students completing activities through this program do not automatically fulfill the service-learning requirement. What follows is an explanation contrasting Service-Learning with the Volunteer Network.
