What is Service Learning?
Service learning integrates meaningful community service with classroom instruction and critical reflection. Students get the chance to practice what they’ve learned while making a positive impact. Through combining hands-on service with academic instruction and guided reflection, students:
- Deepen their understanding of course material
- Develop civic responsibility
- Help strengthen the communities they serve
This approach helps students grow as learnings and as active members of society.
Students apply what they learn in class while helping their community.
