The following is a recent posting on the Higher Education-Service Learning listserv:

I am looking for some continuing education opportunities in service learning or civic engagement. Are you aware of any courses or certificate programs?

Here are the responses:

Unite For Sight’s Global Health University certificate programs are designed for students and professionals to develop a greater knowledge base in global health for personal and professional growth and capacities. You can access information about all certificate programs here: http://www.uniteforsight.org/global-health-university/certificate-programs. Upon clicking on a certificate program, such as the Certificate in Community Development (https://www.uniteforsight.org/community-development/), you can read full details, including those about the course content under “Curriculum” and those about costs under the “Eligibility, Enrollment, and Cost” section.

“Campus Compact is launching this credentialing program because we believe the work of higher education Community Engagement Professionals matters,” said Campus Compact President Andrew Seligsohn. “It matters enough that it’s worth supporting professionals to help them do their work well–reflectively, ethically, and effectively. We also believe supporting CEPs as they build their own competencies will help higher education colleagues and community partners understand the value of CEPs and the importance of the knowledge and skills they bring to their campuses and communities.” Read more here: https://compact.org/introducing-campus-compacts-community-engagement-professional-credential/.
