Service Learning



What is service-learning?

Community service-learning is a teaching methodology that integrates community service with academic study to enrich learning, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities.

If you want to create your own service-learning projects, think about how to address various community needs, such as:

  • Environmental
  • Educational
  • Political
  • Public Safety
  • Student Mentoring
  • Intergenerational
