EDUC 747 is 30-point service-learning course nested into Campus Connections Aotearoa youth mentoring programme and available in the second semester. Service-learning courses integrate community service with instruction and reflection to enhance the learning experience. In the case of EDUC 747, the community service involves youth development, leadership, and practice, through CC-A. The course, including lectures, mentoring sessions and debrief, takes place every Thursday throughout the second semester.  The start time will alternate between 8.00 am on lecture weeks (which occur fortnightly) and 8.30 am every other week. The day will finish at the same time of 3.00 pm every week.  Students enrolled in EDUC 747 will develop a range of skills including therapeutic communication and relationship building with youth participants.  Across the semester dates, students will also engage in leadership tasks such as pro-social activity design and facilitation and/or coaching or counselling roles, as part of their hands-on learning experience.
