Abstract
This paper explores how two university-based service learning programs enhance capacity building in the community. Analyzing the service learning programs in two universities, respectively at the University of Central Florida and Eastern Michigan University, this paper explores the differences and similarities between the two universities with respect to the practical approaches to service learning pedagogy and community civic engagement. The paper uses the concepts of social capital and capacity building to understand the partnership between these universities and community organizations.
