Service Learning
What is Service-Learning?
Service-learning is a form of experiential education that combines meaningful community service with academic study and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities.
The distinctive element of service-learning is that it enhances the community through the service provided, but it also has powerful learning outcomes for the students or others participating in providing a service.
