How does Community-based Learning differ from internships?
Internships provide students with experiences to develop professional skills. Community-based Learning links service experiences to course learning objectives, while fostering citizenship skills. Like internships, Community-based Learning integrates theory and practice, but it also emphasizes civic responsibility and community awareness. Community-based Learning experiences can often lead to internships. CBL provides students with shorter-term community experiences which can help them refine or redirect their goals for longer internships.
