Service-Learning is a teaching and learning method that connects meaningful community service with academic instruction through guided reflection.

Service-Learning in a Class

Integration of service-learning into existing courses allows students to participate in community service as part of the curriculum. This option is an opportunity for students to engage in learning by applying information and skills taught in their course curriculum.

Students are able to choose from approved service sites in order to select a location that is right for both their needs and the requirements of the instructor. In our Service-Learning Orientations, we explain how to browse the service sites on our database to find contact information and requirements.

Through Service-Learning you can:

• Develop critical thinking and problem solving skills
• Clarify personal values and dedication to your degree program
• Explore career options
• Develop socially and personally
• Create connections to community and civic partners
