While campus engagement with the local community is generally
viewed in a positive light, in reality these collaborations are
more complex. Presenting a variety of contemporary models and
frameworks for community engagement, this book is distinguished by
its unique emphasis on campus-community partnerships from the
perspective of the community. Bolstered by concrete data, the text
addresses the impact of a variety of service-learning arrangements
on local communities and focuses on the experiences, both positive
and negative, of the community organization. Integrating
theoretical, historical, ethical and practical frameworks, the book
examines in-depth such emerging models as global service learning,
social entrepreneurship, and experiential philanthropy. Vivid case
examples drawing from real-life programs that have been implemented
in the U.S. and abroad bring these models to life. While the book
emphasizes the perspectives of the communities served, it also
encompasses the experiences of nonprofit organizations, students,
and faculty. Students, faculty, and administrators who are engaged
in campus-community partnerships particularly in disciplines that
are grounded in community-based learning, such as social work,
human services, sociology, and public service studies will find
this book to be an important resource.br> Key Features: Examines
