Lindenwood University residential students may participate in the Community Work Service Segment of their Work & Learn Program during their junior and senior year. This assignment will replace one semester of Work & Learn on campus. The student will work and average of 10 hours per week for 15 weeks, or a total of 150 hours, in the participating community service organization or school district. The student’s university account will be credited as though they will be working on campus. In order to participate, you must have completed 55 hours of credit and be of junior or senior standing. (Others may be considered under special circumstances.) Students must be eligible to participate in the regular Work & Learn Program and have done satisfactory work in previous Work & Learn Assignments as well as be in satisfactory academic standing.

The purpose of the Community Work Service/American Reads Program is as follows:

• to expose students to volunteer agencies and social programs in the local community.
• to enable students to be involved in hands-on experience outside their normal disciplines.
• to provide diverse opportunities that will enhance the student’s educational background and broaden their range of marketable talents.
