1. Think about the big picture How does the agency's mission dovetail with the course mission and student learning objectives? Is it a good match? 2. Understand the organization Gather information about the agency and its mission before setting up a meeting What are the goals and mission of the organization? How is the agency organized? Who works there? Are they full-time, part-time, volunteers, or a combination? What are their hours of operation? Where is it located? How will students get there? 3. Assessing the needs of the agency a. Give the agency the ability to address current needs (perhaps through a questionnaire). Agencies that are involved in service learning courses are usually willing to mold the service experience to meet the needs of students and faculty. Make sure the community partner's needs will be met. Listen well. b. Meet with the Executive Director of the agency so the needs of the entire agency are being heard. What assets and skills does the organization have? What assets and skills are missing? Can students help fill needs in a way that will not only help the agency but also help the student learn course content? c. Build rapport with clear statements of the academic and community agendas. Understand these agendas may change during the conversation among University and community partners. What are the goals-including the learning objectives-of the course? Who are the students and what are their skills? Where do agency and course goals overlap? How can the agency, students, and instructors work together to meet the needs of all partners?
