Writing for nonprofit organizations: a classroom without walls. (On-going topics).
Abstract
This paper explores the importance of reciprocity in service-learning courses and how a course in grant writing at the undergraduate level successfully linked students with nonprofit organizations and engaged them in applying the grant writing instruction they received in the classroom to the efforts of the nonprofit organizations they served. Covering the development of this course and tracking the students' changing perceptions via their journal writings, this paper discusses ways in which students moved from questioning the relevance of service to envisioning themselves as catalysts for change, equipped with the tools to effect that change.
