Nonprofit Studies at the University of Washington-Tacoma combines rigorous course work with a minimum of 300 hours of service learning internships with local nonprofits. The Curriculum is housed in Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences, and reflects the Program's overall commitment to critical thinking, engagement with current social issues, and service to the community. The nonprofit courses focus not only on best practices in nonprofit management, fund raising, and organizational development, but also on the challenges communities face, at the regional, national and global levels. Service-learning internships provide students an important opportunity to experience real-life situations in the sector. It also incorporates an understanding of the principle of service-learning, which we see as central to a complete educational experience. Amitai Etzioni uses service-learning to describe the best approach to be taken by nations and their leaders in struggling to deal with global tensions. He argues that a service-learning approach helps us understand we have something valuable to learn from "the other side." This global focus brings even more substance to the experience of service-learning, and how it might help establish basic understandings for conflict resolution. Service-learning also provides important resources for the local nonprofit sector and the community it serves. When one considers the potential economic value of 300 hours of organizational support by committed, informed and guided students, the dollar value becomes readily apparent. Not only does this provide a generous supply of trained and relatively experienced entry-level nonprofit professionals from the community itself, but it also brings valuable support to the nonprofit sector. This paper assesses the economic and social outcomes of service-learning on the community and beyond.
