Planning a career where you will help others? The interdisciplinary approach of this course introduces students to the historical, cultural and ethical context of service; investigates the increase in the number of helping professionals; takes students on a journey of personal empowerment; and offers theories and best practices that prepare them to empower the persons they will serve in their professions. Assigned readings, case studies, service-learning experiences, structured reflection and discussions empower students to understand and develop individual purpose, become lifelong learners, and combine knowledge, skills, values and motivation to make a difference in the lives of those they serve. This course would be especially useful for students seeking careers in helping professions such as animal care and protection, community and public service, counseling, education, health and wellness, human rights, legal and protective services, the military or social services.
