Service Reflection

Compose a 4-5 page reflection paper connecting the issues discussed in the course readings
with the issues at the organization while also giving your own account of what you learned by warking at
this particular organization, with certain people, etc. Begin by informing me about the agency you worked
for and their mission, and then explain in detail what you did for the organization. Next, cite any of the
teadings from the semester that directly relate to your service experience this semester and explain why
they did so. From this point, you may want to consider some of these larger questions: What did you gain
from working with this organization? What did the organization gain? What is the relationship between
service learning and a Women’s Studies classroom? What is the value of service learning in the Women’s
Studies classroom, and what is the value for the community? What was the most rewarding aspect of the
experience for you? What new insight did you have? Please include any anecdotes that will “show” rather
than just “tell” what your organization is alt about. The stories you can write from this experience are often
the most powerful and lead to a deeper level of self-reflection.
