Step 2 – Select and Contact an Organization:

Sample Phone Script & Suggestions for Contacting a
Community Partner
1. With whom to speak:
When calling the Community Partner, always ask to speak with
the contact person identified in the service-learning handbook.
If that person no longer works at the site, ask to speak with
the volunteer coordinator. (Please e-mail us at
[email protected] if the contact person has changed.
Thank you!)
2. When to call:
Always try to call the contact person during the times they
have identified as the best time to reach them. If you must
leave a message, identify yourself and state why you are
calling, your phone number, and the best time the contact
person can reach you. Be persistent. You might have to leave
several messages before you are able to reach your contact.
Or, email them if you do not get through by phone.
3. What to say:
Hi. My name is _________ , and I am a service-learning
student at Anne Arundel Community College. I am enrolled in
(name of course) and I am interested in volunteering at your
site. I need to complete (number of hours your instructor
requires) by (state your deadline) and I would like to know if
you have any volunteer opportunities where I might be able to
help and also learn more about your organization and its
services. (Don’t forget to mention any special skills,
certifications or experience you have that might be relevant to
the organization.)
4. What to ask:
What will I be doing?
Is there an orientation?
Where will I be working? (Ask for specific directions.)
What should I wear?
Where can I park?
If you are interested, ask if you can visit the site before you
begin volunteering.
5. Confirm the agreement:

Determine tentative dates you will perform your service hours.
Get the site supervisor to sign your Service-Learning Contract.

business for more than 30 years. Brightview is committed to creating vibrant senior living communities by providing excellent
service to all of our customers. Our goal is to create environments that are a great place to live and a great place to work.
Students who care about the senior community can share their talents and gifts with residents. This would enhance not only
our residents’ lives, but also the students and give them a much better understanding and appreciation for this time in life and
those who even at young ages have been afflicted with memory challenges. Assist or lead activities, programs, etc. Create a
lesson, activity, or presentation (even if for 1 time) that our residents could experience. There would be some interest for, but
not limited to: music-appreciation, History talks-interactive, sewing, ceramics, glass, painting, computer / iPad learning… and
almost anything.

to provide people of diverse backgrounds with the education, resources, and networks necessary to become successful,
proactive leaders. The vision of Leadership Anne Arundel is to develop and nurture current and future leaders to become
community trustees who improve the quality of life in Anne Arundel County by convening diverse stakeholders, bridging their
divides, and facilitating resolutions for the common good. It accomplishes this through its yearly classes- Flagship, Executive,

This effort is to help LAA reconnect with the many graduates from the programs where contact has been lost. It involves
researching publicly available resources and information contained within the LAA records to help locate and provide accurate
contact information for these graduates. This provides students with an opportunity to network with the LAA community while
providing a valuable service. Skills required include Internet research, communication and attention to detail.
Multiple, can divide graduate information according to number of students participating.

The Reflective Journal
Keeping a diary or journal of your experiences at the site will help you to consider more deeply the significance of its
personal impact as well as any connection to your class studies. If your instructor requires you to keep a journal, always
follow your instructor’s requirements when completing your assignment. The following suggestions will provide insight
into what you are experiencing and how you are feeling about it.

For confidentiality, always use pseudonyms rather than the real names of partnership site clients.

Let your thoughts and feelings flow when you write. Don't worry about editing your writing since tinkering with
spelling, grammar, etc., could blunt emotions. The writing does not have to sound pretty, profound or poetic.
The goal is to develop your senses and observation skills so the writing reflects who you truly are. Just be
yourself.

It may be helpful to write the factual or objective account of the experience the same day it occurs. This will
ensure that the memories are fresh and intact. Students sometimes use this portion to consider any possible
links or conflicts between class theory and the event.

Next, explore and describe your reactions and perceptions to your day. This is the subjective part of your journal
and should represent the free expression of yourself. You will find that this gets easier the more often it is
attempted.
You will get the greatest rewards in this exercise if you avoid thinking of the journal as only a work log. It can help you to
identify positive learning experiences as well as put problems in their proper perspective. The journal can become an
excellent tool for you to chart your personal and academic growth.
The Purpose of Reflection

To promote academic learning
Recognize application of knowledge and skills learned in classroom
Recognize the use of problem-solving skills
Stimulate complex thinking
Learn interrelationship between academic subjects

To encourage personal development
Reveal personal changes in one’s self-image
Promote career interest thinking
Recognize importance of interpersonal and intrapersonal skills
Build learning from experience
Recognize benefits of collaboration

To improve community program development
Improve quality of future service
Improve benefits to all parties involved

Experience Is the Best Teacher — Or Is It?"

for Volunteers
Service to the community may take you to places that seem different from your own neighborhood. Some
people welcome the chance to learn about new areas, but others wonder if they are safe. The following simple
precautions make good sense at a service site as well as in your hometown, your favorite weekend spot or on
the Anne Arundel Community College campus.
 Know where you are going. Make sure you have the correct address and a verbal description if
possible. Get the telephone number so you can call for directions if you get lost. Have a map. Check the
route before you go.
 Before you go to the site, make an appointment so that people are expecting you. Do not go where
you are not expected. Always let someone know where you are going and when to expect you back.
 Avoid being a target for trouble. Be aware of your environment at all times. Do not display expensive
jewelry, large amounts of cash or valuable items such as sports equipment, iPods or cellular phones.
Do not leave the same articles visible in your car, whether locked or unlocked.
 Always lock your car. When returning to a parked car, have the key in your hand as you approach.
Before opening the car, visually check around, under and inside.
 Take action if necessary. It is very unusual to be harassed or threatened while volunteering in the
community or traveling to a site. If you should be harassed or threatened, try to leave the area and
avoid the situation. Then, notify appropriate authority (i.e. supervisor, police, etc.).
 Report any incident or accident to your service-learning professor and the Center for Learning
through Service.
