Service Learning - Community Partners

Service-Learning

What is Service-Learning?

  • Service-learning are academic courses that provide students with structured opportunities to learn, develop, and reflect through active participation and thoughtfully-organized community involvement.
  • Service-learning integrates assessment and student reflection on the interrelationships between course content and community-based learning activities.
  • Conducted in the community, it meets the needs of the students, faculty, and community partners and fosters civic competence and engagement.

    • Have a physical location or main office
    • Provide on-site supervision of students
