Abstract

This article examines Noah, a sport management major and Honors student, who has worked in a supportive housing community for over 2 years. His journey started in a community-engaged learning (CEL) course and grew into an Honors project, focused on developing a sports outreach program to meet local needs. Using reflective practice and a case study approach, Noah’s contributions to the community are demonstrated, and the transformative effects of CEL on his personal and professional growth are highlighted. The findings showcase the long-term impact of CEL on students and underscore the value of integrating such projects into academic programs for both student development and community benefit.
