What is Service-Learning?
Service-learning is a teaching and learning
approach that integrates community service with academic study to
enrich learning, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities.
Because of its community-curriculum connection, service-learning
inspires strong partnerships with community-based organizations.
Service-learning can also be organized and offered by community
organizations with learning objectives or structured reflection
activities for students.
