Service-learning allows learners to apply classroom theories to authentic and practical situations by connecting it to the needs of the local and global community.
Goals of Service-learning:

  • involves collaboration
  • addresses significant community needs
  • enriches the traditional classroom learning
  • provides structured time for student reflection
  • fosters the development of civic and social responsibility
Service-learning enables students to understand their involvement and commitment can make a difference in the quality of life in their community. The connection between service-learning and academic study is made through reflection activities/journals, small group discussions and consultations with faculty. Reflection allows the student to internalize his/her learning and to develop a sense of purpose about their relationship to the larger community.
