Service-Learning combines academic instruction with active community service, utilizing critical, reflective thinking to examine the world around you and your civic responsibilities. It is not volunteering. It is a mutually beneficial partnership, allowing you to apply what you learned in the classroom to the real world while:
- Developing new skills,
- Improving your critical thinking skills,
- Exploring career possibilities, and
- Making a difference by meeting community needs and
- Increasing citizen support.
