What is service learning?

Service learning is connecting academic curriculum to an activity that demonstrates caring and concern for others in
the community. Students actively participate in the process from planning to implementation, reflection and
evaluation in order to deepen the learning experience.
Why is service learning important?
Service learning provides a meaningful opportunity for students to connect learning and civic responsibility. Students
use the academic and social skills from the classroom and apply them in the context of real life experiences to gain
compassion, empathy, and a sense for the needs of others beyond their own.
