Service for Learning.

Abstract

In one recent year alone, Gabelli School students volunteered more than 1,300 total hours at nine Bronx nonprofits as part of the service-learning program—and gained hands-on experience in the process, along with one additional academic credit. Some of them volunteered at the Concourse Fund, a local nonprofit microfinance organization. Others worked on behalf of the Fordham Road Business Improvement District. Still others acted as pro bono accountants for low-income residents through the city’s VITA income-tax assistance program.
