DukeEngage 2018 Resource Guide

DukeEngage empowers students to address critical human needs through immersive service, in the process transforming students, advancing the University’s educational mission, and providing meaningful assistance to communities in the U.S. and abroad.

We are guided by five core values as we connect Duke undergraduates with domestic and international communities in meaningful service partnerships. These core values inform everything that we do.

DukeEngage values education through immersive civic engagement as the fundamental goal of our work.

Components of this core value include:

· Reflection as part of our established pedagogy

· On-going assessment of the ways in which students’ service enriches their education

· Development and promotion of post-service connections to a student’s life at Duke

DukeEngage values community-driven service with our domestic and international community partners as a means to addressing pressing human needs.

Components of this core value include:

· Community-driven service where issue identification, project implementation, and evaluation of service impact is accomplished in collaboration with communities served through direct service, capacity building activities, and community based research

· A spirit of reciprocity that recognizes the mutual benefits that partners realize when they are open to learning from each other

· Meaningful reflection on our interdependence with communities and the short- and long-term impact of our students’ service on these communities

DukeEngage values participants who pursue their service with humility, respect and curiosity, and who seek to understand how global inequalities shape our world.

Components of this core value include:

· Deep, deliberate exploration of cultural assumptions and worldviews

· Development in the areas of collaboration, cross-cultural awareness, and personal responsibility

· The “engaged journey” during which students question who they are, what they’re doing, and how they nurture or hinder community development

DukeEngage values ongoing service by its students to local, national and international communities.

Components of this core value include:

· Post-experience outreach and education on behalf of one’s greater community through advocacy and awareness efforts

· Expectation of lifelong commitment to civic engagement

· A deeper appreciation of the different modes of social change that can be achieved through political engagement

DukeEngage values responsible stewardship of financial, environmental and human resources.

Components of this core value include:

· Allocation of resources to maximize positive outcomes for communities and students

· Continuing review of health and safety considerations that impact our students and host communities

· An awareness of the environmental impact of what we do at home and abroad
