Since 2006, the Community Engagement Program and its predecessor, the Office of Community Service Learning at Commonwealth College, has sponsored a writing contest, the Commonwealth Essays in Community Service Learning. Essays selected through this contest show how students' work in community service learning has led them to build new skills, develop important relationships with community members, increase their own knowledge and that of community members, and work toward lasting social change. Guidelines for the Spring, 2011 essay contest will be posted here in February, 2011.
