Center for Service Learning [|Center for Service Learning]

MISSION The Center for Service Learning supports the development of meaningful service-learning opportunities that meet community-defined needs, enhance learning by integrating academic curriculum and service, and foster civic engagement, equity, and a sense of social purpose.

OVERVIEW

Service-learning is a holistic and hands-on model of education that expands the walls of the classroom into the community by engaging students in meaningful service opportunities that are purposefully linked with the academic curriculum. Through intentional cycles of reflection and action, service-learning enables students to discover for themselves how academic theories are linked to the real world. Ultimately, service-learning collectively empowers students, faculty, and community members to address pertinent public issues and needs, which makes for stronger and healthier individuals, classrooms, and communities.
