Incorporating Mission and Societal Impact into One School’s Integrated Learning Program

Abstract

This paper provides a strategy for creating and implementing a community-based integrated learning program (CILP) which incorporates mission and societal impact. Our conclusions are based on the extant literature coupled with our experience designing and executing such programs. Furthermore, we offer impact measures so outcomes from a CILP may be analyzed over successive years with the intention to (a) improve on the experience, (b) lever skill-based volunteering and (c) generate best practices that may support other integrated learning programs.
