Designed for students with a demonstrated commitment to service, the Lumpkin Summer Institute for Service Learning allows students to acquire a deep understanding of social change in the Greater Boston area through a ten-week program that integrates traditional classroom learning with on-site community service work. Students live together in Boston while interning and studying the roles of Boston's public and not-for-profit institutions. They also participate in academic learning designed to analyze, contextualize, and reflect on their service experience. The Institute involves Wellesley College faculty, staff, and students, as well as practitioners from the organizations in which the students serve. Together they explore the value and philosophy of service learning in a liberal arts context.
