dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this master's project is to discover if and how museums are used as sites for community college service-learning programs, to learn about the service projects that students have performed at these museums, and to understand the advantages and disadvantages of service-learning in museums. Through community college-based service learning, museums have a unique opportunity to gain a fresh, informed, and objective perspective from motivated adult learners. A relationship with a community college has the potential for access to college resources, whether material, financial, or intellectual. Community colleges offer educational outreach opportunities for museum educators and alternative exhibition spaces for curators. At the very least, community college service-learning programs offer a source for a new generation of volunteers.
