Orientation: Are you Eligible?

Eligibility

Students must have and be able to present a current CNM student ID card with photo and student ID number (not social security number). Without this, students cannot participate in the CNM Service Learning program.

Time Considerations

The minimum hours of service required is 15, but some agencies require more than 15 hours per term.
- Ask yourself if you have the time to commit to Service Learning and if you can consistently arrive on time.
Allow extra time for enrolling in Service Learning, interviewing and training at the agency, and orientation sessions.
It's better not to become involved than to sign up and withdraw later.

Possible Challenges

Working with real people and real-life situations can be eye-opening.
You need a strong ability to make and keep a commitment.
Your ideas of life and our community may change.
Agency representatives may change.
People will be depending on you.
Emotional connections - You may become attached.
