''Community-Based Learning Initiatives (CBL) '' Coursework that bridges the liberal arts curriculum and civic service serve at the core of Swarthmore's commitment to educating students on becoming lifelong learners. Many courses throughout the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences divisions of the college offer classes that incorporate a community service extension of the course that brings students to local community organizations to apply their classwork to serving the greater community.  The Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program: This provides Swarthmore students with the opportunity to study the consequences of the mass-incarceration epidemic. Over the course of 14 weeks, “insider” students from the prison system in Chester, Pa., and Swarthmore student “outsiders” are tasked with creating and researching projects and programs that could tangibly help break the cycle of mass incarceration.
 RELG 10: African American Religions- Swarthmore students will learn side-by-side, via Zoom, with formerly incarcerated scholars who have recently returned home and are avid followers of a particular religious denomination(a religion that they picked up while incarcerated).
