Service learning has grown in popularity within higher education as a teaching pedagogy shown to foster student engagement as well as strengthen the relationships between the community and community college. Research has demonstrated that service learning places a focus on students gaining the hands-on experience tied closely to course objectives while providing service to their community. Students who register for most courses offered at a suburban Chicago community college will experience the traditional lecture-style format. To that end, this study sought to identify student attitudes toward learning regarding individual characteristics such as age, gender, ethnicity, full- or part-time status, college rank and past volunteer or service learning experience. In addition, the factors that can influence the selection of community partners when options exist were also explored in this study. In this descriptive, non-experimental design with no manipulation of conditions, currently enrolled community college students were examined by answering a 33 question survey instrument. Participants included 122 students enrolled in liberal arts courses during the Spring and Fall 2017 semesters. The results showed mostly favorable student attitudes toward service learning with statistically significant differences in student characteristics gender, race, student status and past volunteer experience. In addition, student participants showed more interest in a hypothetical partner selection site of a child youth agency more frequently than any other option. Student differences in the selection of hypothetical partners were found with age, gender and race.
