An important goal of community-engaged learning experiences is for students to have a positive, humanizing, and sustainable impact on the communities they work with. Students reaching the end of a community-engaged course or service project should prepare to exit a community with these goals in mind. In this interactive session, students will explore what it means to exit a project sustainably; discuss the outputs, outcomes, and impacts of their project; identify important questions to ask their community partners in preparation for exiting a project; and discuss and work on their exit plan.
This workshop is for students who are:
- Coming to the end of a community-engaged project or their part in a community-engaged project
- New or newer to the community-engaged course
- Completing assignments that ask students to interact with local communities
- Attending one-time service events
- Returning regularly to sites for direct service but not working toward any particular project
- Research assistant on community-engaged research projects
