[[Georgetown University|Georgetown University's]] website says "The Center for Social Justice (CSJ) is responsible for designating courses as “community-based learning” courses. Crucially, a community-based learning (CBL) course involves work with disadvantaged and underserved individuals and groups. Such work has traditionally been called “service-learning.” The language of CBL attempts to capture Georgetown’s central commitment to working with community representatives in designing CBL courses, courses that value the contributions of both campus and community to the learning experience of the students.
 
The community-based learning model at Georgetown entails that each enrolled student complete at least 20 to 40 hours of structured community-based work, along with designated course assignments requiring active integration by students of their community-based work and central course themes and materials through course assignments, such as papers, reports, oral presentations, or exams. Through this model, individual students might be working with different CBOs; small groups of students might be working with a few CBOs; or all students in the class might be working together on one large project for one partner CBO.

[[Northeastern University|Northeastern University's]] website says "Service-learning in CSSH has come in the form of teaching urban youth how to cook healthy and affordable meals, building a website to document humanitarian projects in post-earthquake Haiti, and allocating real-dollar grants to local nonprofits that address social and economic challenges. Many of the Dialogue of Civilizations faculty-led summer programs also integrate service-learning into their curricula.

At [[Portland State University|Portland State]] "the Student Community Engagement Center (SCEC) is committed to creating engagement opportunities based on the idea that every member of our community has the power to be an agent of social change." According to Tania D. Mitchell, Assistant Professor of Higher Education at the University of Minnesota, Critical Service Learning can be differentiated from traditional service learning by developing an explicit focus on social justice issues and centering community needs (2008). <s>See Figure 1 for a visual representation of Dr. Mitchell’s model for Critical Service Learning.</s>

[[Purdue University|Purdue University's]] website states that "At Purdue University, service-learning is an educational experience in which students: a) participate in an organized service activity that meets community-identified needs; b) use knowledge and skills directly related to a course, discipline and/or specific learning outcomes; and c) reflect on the service activity in such a way as to gain further understanding of course content and/or learning outcomes and an enhanced sense of personal values and civic responsibility.

=== Vanderbilt University ===
At [[Vanderbilt University|Vanderbilt University,]] [[community engagement]] pedagogies, often called “service“[[Service-learning|service learning,]]” are ones that combine learning goals and community service in ways that can enhance both student growth and the common good. According to the [[National Service Learning Clearinghouse]], it is “a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities.”  <s>Or, to quote Vanderbilt University’s Janet S. Eyler (winner of the 2003 Thomas Ehrlich Faculty Award for Service Learning) and Dwight E. Giles, Jr., it is</s><blockquote>''<s>“a form of experiential education where learning occurs through a cycle of action and reflection as students. . . seek to achieve real objectives for the community and deeper understanding and skills for themselves. In the process, students link personal and social development with academic and cognitive development. . . experience enhances understanding; understanding leads to more effective action.”</s>''</blockquote>Typically, community engagement is incorporated into a course or series of courses by way of a project that has both learning and community action goals. This project isUniversity designedcreates viacollaborative collaborationprojects between faculty and community partners, such as non-governmental organizations or government agencies. The project askswhere students to apply course content to community-based activities. This gives students experiential opportunities to learn in real world contexts and develop skills of community engagement, while affording community partners opportunities to address significant needs. Vanderbilt University’s Sharon Shields has argued that service learning is “one of the most significant teaching methodologies gaining momentum on many campuses.” Indeed, when done well, teaching through community engagement benefits students, faculty, communities, and institutions of higher education. Below are some of the benefits that education researchers and practitioners have associated with community engaged teaching".<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-07-21 |title=Top 25 Universities For Non-profit And Community Service Ranked By Return - Best Value Schools |url=https://www.bestvalueschools.com/rankings/non-profit-and-community-service-ranked-by-return/ |access-date=2023-03-28 |website=www.bestvalueschools.com |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |last=Bringle |first=Robert G. |title=Understanding service learning. |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/10677-001 |work=The measure of service learning: Research scales to assess student experiences. |pages=3–10 |access-date=2023-03-30 |place=Washington |publisher=American Psychological Association |isbn=1-59147-077-3 |last2=Phillips |first2=Mindy A. |last3=Hudson |first3=Michael}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Giles, Jr. |first=Dwight E. |last2=Eyler |first2=Janet |date=1998 |title=A Service Learning Research Agenda for the Next Five Years |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/tl.7308 |journal=New Directions for Teaching and Learning |language=en |volume= |issue=73 |pages=65–72 |doi=10.1002/tl.7308 |issn=0271-0633}}</ref>
