Service-Learning As A Means To Help Social Enterprises, Sin Yan, Joan Wong

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

In Hong Kong, the term "social enterprise" is a relatively new term. As a result, those living in Hong Kong often do not understand the term's meaning or what a social enterprise is and how it works. In fact, many people living in Hong Kong tend to confuse "social enterprises" with "charitable organizations" - thinking that the two terms have the same meaning.

In addition to the many misconceptions about the concept of "social enterprise," it is also important to recognize the difficulties that operating social enterprises (SEs) face in Hong Kong. Many SEs are struggling to survive because of …

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

During the past several years, we have heard several long-time advocates of service-learning integration into teacher education express concerns about how service-learning fits into the mix of pedagogies in the 21st Century school. In this age of hyper-accountability, is service-learning too hard to document and too complicated to implement? Has service-learning’s time passed? Does service-learning fit in the 21st Century school? Why service-learning now?

Engagement And Global Learning Through Philanthropy: A Youth Philanthropy Council For International Baccalaureate Students, Erin Gorman

Capstone Collection

Unprecedented global migration and a flattened global economy have influenced the skills, knowledge, and competencies all high school youth need to be engaged participants and effective workers in the 21^st century global economy (Mansilla & Jackson, 2011). Research indicates that many youth, especially those at risk for dropping out of school or from minority and low-income backgrounds, do not have adequate opportunities to develop the global competence and 21^st century skills needed for engagement and success in the workforce of the 21^st century (Afterschool Alliance, 2010). This paper presents a replicable global learning afterschool program model that …

An Examination Of Volunteer Motivations And Characteristics Between Required Volunteer Service And Non-Required Volunteer Service In College Students: An Exploratory Study, Amanda C. Bastien

Honors College Theses

Volunteerism in the undergraduate years can enhance students’ academic development, civic responsibility, and life skills (Astin & Sax, 1998). Whether a student volunteers in high school can be a predictor of continued volunteerism in college and later in life (Planty & Regnier, 2003; Astin & Sax, 1998). Participants of this study were 283 college students enrolled in first year seminar courses at a large university in the Southeastern United States. Participants completed a questionnaire developed by Gage and Thapa (2012) which included the Volunteer Function Inventory (Clary et al. 1998) that served to investigate the volunteering characteristics and volunteering motivations …
