At The Evergreen State College, we teach interdisciplinary programs for up to 16 quarter-hour credits, rather than individual classes. The same students and faculty come together every day, giving us tremendous amounts of time together. This structure offers us the opportunity to build a weekly community-based volunteer session into the schedule. While not every class could build in the same amount of time commitment, any educator at any level could work on developing long-term community partnerships.
At The Evergreen State College, we emphasize hands-on, field-based learning, and we value our relationship with community partners, whom we view as co-educators. We see our work out in neighborhoods and farms, or with community organizations, the city or state offices, as an extension of the campus. Rather than seeing our student internships or class volunteer hours as "service work," we emphasize the partnership that exists between these entities and the college. The students offer something, yes, but they also receive a great deal in terms of training, hands-on learning, connecting with the community, and connecting with one another outside of the classroom. The benefits are multifaceted and multi-directional.

Even so, I have committed to have whatever class I am teaching work with the Kiwanis Food Bank Gardens for one morning a week every summer during a summer program, and often in spring quarter and/or fall quarter as well. Two hours of work by twenty or so people can be the equivalent of 40 hours of work, which is a significant boost to the work-week at the garden. I have developed a great relationship with Garden Managers Don Leaf and Sue Lundy. Below are some significant learning outcomes from this long-term relationship, which could be considered and applied in similar teaching and learning arrangements.
4. Somatic Learning and Appreciating Farmworker Realities. Literally digging in with our bodies means that we learn in a different way. Once students handle dozens of cabbage starts, they become aware of how fragile the leaves are, how to support the roots, how to shape a small basin for irrigation around the plant. When repeated over and over, we develop skills and expertise in particular areas. Only by handling tall young tomato starts, do we get a sense of the strength they have and the support they need. The repetition of moving up and down rows doing the same thing over and over means that the learning is embodied. Even as the conversation may range over other things, the hands are repeating and improving on particular skills. Students get a feel for how tools work and how the soil feels. They observe the growth of plants over time, and begin to understand them in terms of conditions needed for healthy development, when and how to harvest, and so on. Getting soaked in the rain, having mud-caked knees and shoes, digging into the soil with their hands all provide a tactile experience that shapes them differently than if they were in a classroom. This particular spring was a long and wet one, and we showed up to the garden for week after week of rainy conditions. This helped us to understand what it's like to adapt the sowing plan and to work around the rain, giving us an up-close sense of what farmers have to go through. Every single session, no matter how chilly, sleepy, and grumpy we felt at the start, after digging in and getting some work done, we always felt better. Many students appreciated getting even this small start of training toward their own personal aspirations of growing more food in the future.

Almost everyone fits in the auditorium, which is set up like a high school science fair today with folded cardboard displays. This is the spring fair, where students present capstone projects that are meant to benefit the community. A sign reads, "ALUMNI PANEL; ART THERAPY; HUG AND MORE." Children ride on shoulders; aunties and grandmas dance the "Electric Slide." The city's mayor, Victoria Woodards, stops by to congratulate the graduates. Norman, who gained video skills in Sheppard's class, is filming.
"I learned very quickly once I came here that the students here are quite different. They have life experience, work experience, and social experience that I don't know." Students love dissecting animals in her class, and she dreams that one day, one of them will decide to go to medical school. 006ab0faaa
