What is Service-Learning?
Service-Learning is a way of teaching and learning that connects meaningful service to the community with classroom instruction. It enriches learning, teaches civic responsibility, and fosters personal growth. Service-learning helps youth see beyond the classroom and into the community where they learn math, science, language arts, and other required subjects by addressing community needs and solving real problems. Service-learning has been shown to:
- Increase motivation to learn,
- Lower drop out rates, and
- Build critical thinking and problem solving skills.
