The most important thing an institution does is not to prepare a student for a career, but for life as a citizen.
Frank Newman
My own service-learning experience helped me to change my undergraduate major to social work. As a student worker with the program, I gained so many skills that helped me to be successful as a social worker and change agent after graduation. Now I help student workers develop these same skills and find the same passion for creating positive change that I have felt.

Being an M3C fellow has impacted my morals and values in a very positive way. I am much more aware of the different problems in our world and how to help fix some of them. I am so very blessed to be a part of this wonderful program because it has taught me so much.

Wisconsin Campus Compact has brought more visibility and awareness, more leveraging of resources, and more collaboration with other organizations on multiple levels than would ever have been possible with even the best network of individual, campus-based service-learning and civic engagement programs.
Don Mowry, Director, Service-Learning Center, University
I think that the fact that the class is being held outside of the academic setting is excellent , especially since it puts into practice everything that we learn in class, almost like a trial by fire, of what actually works, what doesn’t work.
Northeast Wisconsin Technical College Student
Being in this program has not only given me a chance to help the community, but also to learn new skills and create a network of community agencies that could be beneficial to my future career as a social worker.
Kristin Acton, M3C Fellow
The M3C Program is so vital. Where my work with one child stops, that child’s work with another volunteer must begin. All of us [Fellows] provide an uplifting service for our sites that we will never be able to fully understand. Our work has a lasting value.
