Service Learning Engagement

Discover how Central College's collaboration with the Iowa United Nations Association (UNA) enhances student engagement through service learning. Unlike traditional internships, faculty oversight fosters creative programming, while students explore humanitarian causes and develop a deeper understanding of global interconnectedness. The partnership establishes a network for future internships and volunteering, benefiting both students and the community. In Pella, one of eight national cities with a developing UNA chapter, students gain access to vital resources and advocacy opportunities through their involvement.

  4. Benefits for Iowa UNA • Unlike student internships, faculty provide the wealth of project oversight in place of the non-profit organization. • Leaving project parameters open to student interpretation often results in creative programming. • Establishes potential pipeline for student internships and volunteers. • Provides UNA presence in communities our office is incapable of consistently engaging. • Large window of opportunity. Pella, Iowa is one of eight cities nationally with a UNA chapter in development.

  5. Benefits for participating students • Researching and subsequently publicly advocating for worthwhile humanitarian causes can highly influence student perspectives on the interconnectedness of the world surrounding us. Can alter personal habits with the greater good in mind. • In service learning instances of student fundraisers for a UN humanitarian campaign, students realize their role as instruments of positive change. Remarkably rewarding. • Students are provided access to UNA staff, UN resources and UNA members in the community producing new branches of networking.
