What is Service Learning?

Service Learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities.

How is Service Learning Distinct?

  • Involves a balance between learning goals and service outcomes.
  • Equally benefits the provider and the recipient.
  • Generally broad based to meet multiple learning outcomes.
  • An integration of community service and academic study.
  • Students contribute to the community while using the community as an opportunity for learning.
  • Learners serve the public good while gaining more effective cognitive development and academic concepts.
  • Service enhances the learning and learning enhances the service.
