Service Learning Partnership
How it works:
1. Student volunteers will be placed on each conference committee throughout the conference planning and preparation stage. The intention is to create a teaching/ learning relationship between each student volunteer and committee chair.
2. Committee Chiars will communicate with the student volunteers who are placed with their committee, and student volunteers will participate as committee members.
3. Student will also volunteer on-site in the role of Conference Support Staff during the weekend of the conference, under the coordination of the Support Staff Coordinator.
Goal: Mutual Benefit
PCRID's goal is to have volunteers to support the annual conference, while minimizing the loss of member registration fees. The goal of the Student and the student's educational institute is to provide service in the Deaf and interpreting communities, while getting a meaurable learning/teaching experience.
What it Looks Like:
- Students are under supervision of their instructor, and receive educational credit within their interpreting program for their service experiences.
- The PCRID Service Learning Coordinator will provide liaison support to committee chairs, and in training and orienting students to their roles.
- Both, the PCRID Service Learning Coordinator, and the student's educational institute will provide support to students working with the PCRID board and committee chairs.
