Lake Land College students, faculty and staff are committed to giving back to our communities. Learn how you can earn non-transferable credit on your transcript for your volunteer efforts through the Serve Your Community Volunteer Program. Possible volunteer sites include American Red Cross, PADS Homeless Shelter, HOPE of East Central Illinois, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Douglas Hart Nature Center, or create your own project!
Complete the application and forms via the Laker HUB and submit to the Student Life Office. The volunteer hour log will then be provided to you for completion throughout the semester. Upon successful completion and approval, the class will be added to your academic record at the end of the semester.
The number of credits you will earn in Special Topics in Service Learning is based on the hours volunteered. Credit will be granted as follows: 7.5 hours = 0.5 credits. You can earn a maximum of 2.5 credit hours, although more volunteer hours are always appreciated! As a reminder, credits earned will not count towards graduation requirements or financial aid and are non-transferable.
