An “Asset” approach, is critical to community partnerships.
Our language informs what we know and believe to be possible- our orientation to the world and to the work.

A FOCUS on the ASSETS of the partners in service-learning works AGAINST the
power of misinformation and negative stereotypes that undermine
relationships.

Reciprocity as the goal
“…what affects me affects the wider community, and what affects the wider community affects me. The consequences are indistinguishable.”
~J. Saltmarsh (1998)
![Page 24: Service-Learning Foundations and Practices Annie Mae Young, Quilts of Gee’s Bend, ca. 1975 Jen Gilbride-Brown, Ph.D The Ohio State University.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697c02f1a28abf838cda6db/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Challenge of reciprocity
“…Those who do community service at colleges and universities, on the other hand, are generally young people who have more advantages than those they are serving.”
~ Nieto, 2000
