Service-Learning is...

A teaching strategy that intentionally combines service activities with learning objectives. This is accomplished by combining a service activity with structured opportunities that link to self-reflection, self-discovery, and the acquisition and comprehension of specific content knowledge.

Effective service-learning projects have the following components:

1) Investigating community issues;

2) Planning a service project;

3) Acting to address the community issue/problem;

4) Reflecting on the service project, the experience and the process;

5) Demonstration of the students’ work by the students to a wider audience;

6) Celebration

Service-Learning combines SERVICE with LEARNING in intentional ways.
