Service-Learning at Hibbing Community College

Hibbing Community College Service-Learning Mission Statement

Integrating theories of the classroom with community experiences to strengthen citizenship, enhance personal growth, and enrich the community.

Service-Learning is an innovative teaching strategy that combines meaningful community or public service with academic improvement, development of civic responsibility, and personal growth. It provides an opportunity for students to apply academic skills in real-life situations while helping to meet actual community needs through service.

What is the Service-Learning Office and What Do They Do?

The Service-Learning Office at Hibbing Community College serves faculty, students, community partners and interested members of the general public. The Service-Learning office is staffed by a service-learning coordinator, whose office is located just behind the HCC Admissions desk (M-150).  Throughout the academic year, the service-learning coordinator is available to answer questions and serves as a liaison between the college and community to make your service-learning experience a success. Additionally, the office provides informational packets, evaluation forms, and supplementary service-learning materials. 

                  
If you are interested in service-learning in any capacity, please contact the service-learning coordinator at 218-263-2952 or email jamiemoberg@hibbing.edu.
