One of the opportunities for students enrolled in Core 305 Service Learning is the chance to volunteer to be a mentor for elementary school children who need extra help with their studies.
When you think of volunteering and service, all you think of is the time you will be 'wasting.' What people fail to realize is that service is a fulfilling experience that is worth the time it takes.
Twelve students from the University of La Verne completed their Service Learning (CORE 305) requirement on an Ejido in Cuernavaca during the month of January.
The University of La Verne prides itself in having a diverse curriculum that encourages and even mandates students to take certain CORE classes that deal with community service and environmental issues. However, the University as a whole fails to walk its own talk.
