What is Service Learning?
Service learning is a credit-bearing, course-specific educational experience that strengthens academic content knowledge and enhances students’ sense of civic responsibility. Students build critical-thinking skills through experiential, community-based activities that are aligned with and integral to academic learning outcomes. At the same time, students and community partners engage in reciprocal relationships that address community-identified needs and provide meaningful benefit to both students and the community.
