Service Learning and Education
What is Service Learning?
"Service-learning means a method under which students learn and
develop through thoughtfully-organized service that: is conducted in and
meets the needs of a community and is coordinated with an institution
of higher education, and with the community; helps foster civic responsibility;
is integrated into and enhances the academic curriculum of the students
enrolled; and includes structured time for students to reflect on the
service experience."
