Supporting Community Connections: Experiential Student Philanthropy and Engaged Learning in Social Work
Nikzad-Terhune, Katherina; Taylor, Jessica Averitt
Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement, v24 n3 p47-60 2020
Community engagement and philanthropic learning have gained traction in university settings as a method to help prepare students for both workplace competency and citizenship. Experiential student philanthropy is a learning method that offers students an opportunity to examine community and social issues and nonprofit organizations while providing them with the unique opportunity to invest funding in nonprofit organizations. This study examined the impact of an experiential student philanthropy project in a graduate-level social work course at Northern Kentucky University (NKU) through the use of a pretest and posttest administered to involved students. The results indicate that incorporation of the Mayerson Student Philanthropy Project (MSPP) with this class ultimately strengthened learning outcomes as related to both course engagement and community engagement.
