Project Community (PC) is one of the University of Michigan's longest running community service learning (CSL) programs, dating back to the mid-1960s, when students committed to social change through community volunteering sought independent study credit for work done in Ann Arbor and other SE Michigan communities (Chesler 2002). Today, Project Community is a partnership between the Ginsberg Center for Community Service and Learning and the Department of Sociology, supported by both Student Affairs and Academic Affairs. Between 300 and 400 UM undergrads participate in one of Project Community's 30+ sections each academic year. Each student works with a community partner in one of five program areas: public education, public health, criminal justice, gender and sexuality, and organizing for social justice. Students in each section work at their community partner site for an average of four hours per week for 10 to 12 weeks. They also meet once a week for an hour and a half with the other students in their section to discuss what they have seen and done at site and relate these experiences to the sociological and journalistic readings assigned for that week.Project Community is really two courses. Soc 389 is the ‘entry-level" course, in which students are placed in one of the 30+ sections. Soc 325 is our course for the peer-facilitators who lead each section of Soc 389, both in the work they do at site and in their weekly seminar discussions of site and readings. The Soc 325 students work closely with the Graduate Student Instructor (GSI) responsible for their program area and with me, the faculty sponsor, in a way that the Soc 389 students do not. Most of our peer facilitators are recruited from the most able and committed of the students in our Soc 389 sections. Thus, they tend to have a higher level of commitment Project Community's pedagogical, intellectual and social change goals even before they receive take on the leadership challenges, and receive the extra training and support, associated with Soc 325.
