Project SHINE began as a national service-learning initiative at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA, to build partnerships among community colleges, universities and community-based organizations that benefited older immigrants, refugees and college students.
Project SHINE at Cal State Fullerton began in 2001. Project SHINE links college students with immigrants who are learning English as a second language, increasing their participation in the community and/or working toward becoming U.S. citizens. As part of a service-learning course or as volunteers, the college students assist participants in a variety of ways, including teaching English, teaching citizenship, providing them with written histories in their native language, and serving as conversation partners.
