Service Learning

For all instructors whose students will be requesting service-learning placement:

  1. All students must be trained before obtaining placement. If training is not included in your course, please direct students to our website for information and schedule of Training Sessions which is found under "Students" on our Home Page.

  2. All students must be cleared for placement. 1) A current copy of a TB test certificate (within the last 12 months), 2) a completed "Volunteers in Public Schools" (VIPS) form and 3) Fingerprinting (Livescan) and Department of Justice screening is needed for the clearance process. The VIPS and Livescan request forms are available through the SERVE office.

  3. The Livescan/DOJ service is provided by CSULB University Police ($52.00).

  4. Students may request placement in any of our Partnership Districts and will be placed in the corresponding schools by each District Office.

  5. Students may request placement in conjunction with their paid aide position. This process is explained in the orientation video.

  6. Students can access their file/placement information with their login password on this website.
