The Journal for Civic Commitment – Guidelines for Submission

Service learning connects the academic curriculum to service in and outside our local communities. Through service experiences, students come to appreciate the importance of participating as responsible citizens in community life. Service learning is the conduit through which community colleges help to create an informed citizenry.

Service learning brings examples of current issues we face as a nation, and as a planet, to the forefront of academic curricula, and allows students to experience them firsthand. In addition, students examine their own role, their own actions, in the preservation and maintenance of democracy.

The Journal for Civic Commitment offers research and theories, strategies, and tips and techniques to readers. It is dedicated to disseminating research-based and practical information to service learning practitioners, coordinators, administrators and state directors.

We invite you to submit an article for consideration in The Journal for Civic Commitment, a non-partisan, web-based publication of the Community College National Center for Community Engagement. Guidelines and timeline follows. The journal will be published twice annually. Submission does not guarantee acceptance.

Although we welcome submissions from all service learning practitioners, preference will be given to articles from community colleges. We look forward to hearing from you. Please feel free to email us if you would like to discuss your proposed contribution.
