What is Service Learning?

Service learning is when students go into the community to do work related to what they learn in class. It allows students, faculty, and community organizations to work together to everyone's benefit. Classes are enriched and made real when students apply what they are learning at non-profits in their own communities. Faculty are challenged to update and enrich their teaching. And social service agencies benefit when students come in to do projects, bringing fresh energy and perspectives to their work.
