Community Service Learning
What is Service Learning?
Service Learning combines community service with academic course content and
emphasizes critical reflection. Service learning is mutually beneficial, simultaneously
enhancing the community through the service provided and functioning as a powerful
learning tool with meaningful consequences for students. Students grow to view
the community as an expanded classroom in which they apply knowledge in a real-world
context, understand the complex nature of social problems, and examine their
roles as citizens.
