Welcome to the EaglesConnect Web site. Our site designed to provide information and to answer questions students, faculty and our community partners have about service-learning. Although we want to meet each of you face-to-face, we hope you will think of the website as the 5 PM to 9 AM part of our 24-hour service!

You can make selections on the left side of this page and visit different sections of the EaglesConnect site. The service-learning databasecontains a listing for each approved service-learning site, including email addresses and website addresses if available. Fill out the service-learning verification and agreement form online!

Sign up for our newsletter to learn about upcoming and past service-learning events and opportunities.

The Service-Learning Orientation includes all you need to know about service-learning (and then some)! Take a few of minutes to read it while you are here.

You are also welcome to contact us by email any time with questions and comments, and of course, you are always invited to stop by the office (on the 4th floor of the Library) as well. If our door is open, feel free to pop in.

Again, welcome to our "home." We hope you will visit often!

Service-Learning Mission

Through mission and function, Florida Gulf Coast University takes pride in partnerships forged with the communities it serves. Students are central to these partnerships and are provided opportunities for community involvement through service-learning. Service-learning experiences support the FGCU undergraduate learning goals and outcomes, foster civic responsibility, and develop informed citizens who participate in their communities after graduation in personally and professionally relevant ways. Service-learning facilitates an appreciation for the interconnectedness of individuals, the communities in which they live, and the resources required to sustain both.
