Learning, Service and Work Well Done
Learning, Service, and Work Well Done
Through the leadership of the Dean of Labor, the Labor Program Council, and countless supervisors and mentors, Berea's Work-Learning-Service Program reflects a unified vision as student and learning centered, as service to the College and broader community, and as necessary work well done.
The Labor Program, a comprehensive Work-Learning-Service program, is an integral and stated part of Berea College's educational philosophy and program and is designed to serve the following purposes:
• Support the total educational program at Berea College through experiences providing the learning of skills, responsibility, habits, attitudes, and processes associated with work;
• Provide and encourage opportunities for students to pay costs of board (meals), room, and related educational expenses;
• Provide opportunities for service to the community and others through work;
• Establish a lifestyle of doing and thinking, action, and reflection, and serving and learning that carries on beyond the college years.
