What is service-learning?
Service-learning involves students in community activities that complement their classroom studies. Every service-learning program is unique, but all aim to help students increase their academic skills through understanding how what they learn in school can be applied to the real world. Service-learning programs help students become interested in their communities and learn how they can affect the quality of life in them.

Reminders:
Service should validate and be respectful of the community culture.
Service is not imposed on people; they are the determiners of their own needs.
Service is about partnerships and collaborations among schools, colleges and universities, and community organizations.
Students have a new role as resources and contributors.
