Orientation: What is Service Learning?
Service Learning is a form of experiential learning that combines service to the community with classroom learning and reflect on that experience and build civic responsibility.
Four Components of Service Learning
- Academic Coursework
- Service to the Community
- Reflection
- Civic Engagement/Responsibility
Service Learning is different from Volunteering!
- Volunteers serve in any way needed and leave.
- Service learners serve to learn about course content and reflect upon how the experience has engaged them to serve in their communities, while also becoming academically strong.
