bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]It was one of the many virtual volunteer opportunities she\u2019d taken on since the start of the coronavirus pandemic that changed the way Eckerd College students completed their required <a href=\"\/service-learning\/\">Reflective Service-Learning<\/a> (RSL).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have volunteered with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FLPIRG\/about\/\">Florida Public Interest Research Group<\/a> (PIRG) Students and with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.westminstershoresfl.org\/\">Westminster Shores<\/a> both virtually,\u201d said the junior <a href=\"\/environmental-studies\/\">environmental studies<\/a> student from Houston, Texas. \u201cThe main difference is just the online setting, really. It took a bit more effort to build community amongst the volunteers, but as we established a sense of community, the online format got a lot easier to work in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Director of Service-Learning Ronald Porter \u201905, Ph.D., agrees. He began pivoting to virtual service opportunities in the Spring Semester as it became increasingly clear that the pandemic would limit travel and face-to-face interactions. \u201cIn the spring, I asked organizations we usually partner with if they had any remote opportunities, and the overwhelming answer was no,\u201d Porter explained. \u201cThat\u2019s when I decided to seek out virtual volunteer jobs and create a database for our students and faculty, so that they could meet their requirements. By the time we returned for the fall, many of our regular partners had begun to realize they had administrative needs such as grant writing and funding applications that could be handled by volunteers virtually.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reflective Service-Learning is a graduation requirement at Eckerd that requires every student to complete 40 hours of pre-approved volunteer work and then write reflective essays on what the work has meant. In a normal year, a student can earn hours by taking a <a href=\"\/service-learning\/programs\/\">Spring Break Service Trip<\/a>, enrolling in a course that offers RSL hours, or submitting and fulfilling a project proposal approved by the Office of Service-Learning. Porter said it was important to him that even in this environment students still had all those options available to them. After building the database of virtual volunteer opportunities that included nationwide programs like the Red Cross and AARP, Porter focused his work on supporting faculty members who needed to rethink their RSL projects. Now students can log on to tutor St. Petersburg\u2019s K-12 children, help domestic violence survivors through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casa-stpete.org\/\">Community Action Stops Abuse<\/a> (CASA), and more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve only had one in-person volunteer event, a campus cleanup with [Associate Professor of Rhetoric] <a href=\"\/academics\/writing-excellence\/\">Alexis Ramsey-Tobienne<\/a>\u2019s class, and we skipped a lot of the formalities that would cause people to gather, like weighing the final product of the cleanup,\u201d Porter said.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most popular projects has been weekly discussion groups with Westminster Communities, a group of residential senior communities that have been closed to outside contact since the start of the pandemic.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;48&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;32&#8243; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;padding-5-percent&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;left-right&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; el_class=&#8221;lg_text&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span class=\"accent-color\">&#8220;Having those intergenerational conversations, particularly when the social unrest was unfolding over the summer, was cathartic for them.
