Abstract:
This article provides an overview of the integration of a pilot service learning (SL) project in a doctoral-level qualitative research course. Faculty partnered with a nonprofit organization that prepares former foster youth for the challenges of adulthood. The project objectives were to (1) increase students' knowledge/skills in qualitative methods, research ethics, and cultural/social issues and (2) promote community collaboration. The outcomes demonstrate that the project was feasible, valuable, and aligned with the principles of SL.
