This course explores the concepts of volunteering and service as they relate to individuals and the community from health perspectives. The mental and physical health of members of our society is affected by their occupational and leisure activities. These activities should begin at a young age so patterns of positive health promotion are established throughout the lifespan. Involvement in community service provides meaning and purpose in people's lives. Such qualities may in turn have protective effects on health outcomes. Volunteering offers opportunities for persons to help solve critical community needs, develop new skills, and open alternative career paths. These opportunities, in turn, reinvigorate the health of the community and promote satisfaction among community members. The content areas will include but not be limited to a historical overview of service and volunteerism, the benefits to individuals and the community, current trends, life-span efforts, occupational opportunities, and the concept of service-learning. This is a web-enhanced course. Prerequisite: ENG 101 and sophomore standing.
