Addressing Concerns. If I encounter difficult or uncomfortable situations—including those associated with inadequate COVID-19 safety precautions and/or issues of racism and discrimination—or should a problem arise between the agency and myself, I will notify my community partner supervisor, CS-L staff, and/or my faculty as soon as possible. CS-L prepares students to create more just, equitable, and sustainable communities. We do that through facilitating direct community engagement, enhancing capacity of community organizations and advocating for positive change. Racism undermines our efforts for a fair and just community at every level of society. CS-L pledges to: Critically examine the roles we—as individuals, our office and the field of Service-Learning have played in perpetuating racial inequities. Prioritize the personal and professional growth of our team, students, colleagues, and partners as social justice and inclusion agents of change. Actively work to expand our partnerships with socially just and inclusive organizations and stakeholders. If we can help you or offer support in your own commitment to building more just and equitable communities, please let us know. In the event that I refuse to comply with these expectations and requirements, I understand that JMU, CS-L, and/or the Partner Site may end my engagement experience immediately and, depending on the extent of my actions, I may have a case referred to the Office of Student Accountability and Restorative Practices.
