Service Learning Courses

The CGCS serves as an incubator and action arm in the development and implementation of Service Learning Classes.

In cooperation with staff and academic departments across ACC and community partners, the CGCS is conceptualizing credit yielding service learning courses designed to provide students with cross-functional professional skills applied against specific matters of concern to Central Texas and beyond. Ongoing efforts are depicted below and the CGCS welcomes proposals and partners to launch new courses.

  • Generative AI in Public Service – In partnership with ACC’s Office of Experiential Learning, ACC’s Business, Government & Technical Communications Program and the nonprofit “Public Service Desk” the CGCS is designing a course open to students in all disciplines that will build a generative AI application for a public institution.

  • Countering Human Trafficking – In partnership with ACC’s Office of Experiential Learning and the nonprofit “Skull Games” the CGCS is designing a course that will teach and apply open source intelligence collection and analysis in support of active law operations to liberate the victims of human trafficking and prosecute suspected traffickers.
