However, with the aim of cultivating long-term social responsibility, schools are instead shifting to coaching students to serve in areas they are intrinsically passionate about, without mandatory service hour requirements. A case example is the Community Impact Program at Flintridge Preparatory School (Prep), a top-rated independent school. The purpose of this case study article is to share the steps in the development of this self-directed, non-hours based community service program and the results of a program evaluation, which involved conducting student focus groups and surveying nearly 300 students in the program and 42 alumni who had participated in the program for at least one year. Results revealed that while serving, students felt they experienced personal growth in leadership, project management and communication skills, and the ability to empathize with others. While serving, students also experienced a variety of logistical, procedural, and personal challenges, the most frequent challenge was finding the time to maintain consistent service engagement. Alumni reported that having access to service opportunities at college was a primary source of motivation to engage in community service after graduation. Past experiences at Prep (such as the school's annual community service fair and school sponsored service events) were also influential in developing purpose for sustained community service. Recommendations for program design, based on the findings, are provided for educators interested in developing self-directed, non-hours based community service programs.","PeriodicalId":343186,"journal":{"name":"Philanthropy & Education","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128648330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although prior research has shown that instructors’ use of experiential philanthropy is positively associated with a number of student learning outcomes, few studies have employed in-depth qualitative methods to assess the effectiveness of experiential philanthropy—especially from the perspective of students. Therefore, in this study, we utilize computer-assisted technologies to mine data from students (n = 973) concerning their perceptions about participating in an experiential philanthropy course. Overall, our results show that similar to the results of prior research, students do believe that experiential philanthropy enhances their learning as well as their willingness to contribute to their community. However, for some students, engaging in experiential philanthropy is less likely to enhance their desire to contribute monetarily to nonprofit organizations and more likely to enhance their desire to contribute in the form of voluntary action.","PeriodicalId":343186,"journal":{"name":"Philanthropy & Education","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115787020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
