This is one of many reasons why NWTC Service Days were created. They provide yet another avenue for the NWTC community to give back and get involved. Six or more service days are developed each semester for students who may find it difficult to engage in long term service opportunities but still want to engage with the community or fulfill service-learning requirements. 9 What makes service days unique is that each is facilitated by Service-Learning and Civic Engagement (SLCE) leaders, with each project typically lasting three to five hours. Service days are designed to address different social issues affecting the community, providing student volunteers with the opportunity to tour and learn about a local nonprofit while completing a meaningful service project. NWTC Service Days support and cultivate a spirit of engagement and service on campus and in the community. Students
