Abstract

This paper uses a case study of service learning in a nonprofit management course to explore how service learning can be adapted for MPA programs. The main argument of the paper is that client-based projects must be combined with reflective exercises to best link theory and practice. The nonprofit management course examined in this paper required students to work on a semester-long management-related project for a nonprofit organization. Students were encouraged to reflect in class and in journal assignments in a way that would link project experience with class readings and professional experience and ambitions. The paper presents lessons learned in adapting service learning to client-based projects in an MPA course.
