SERVICE LEARNING

 What is S-L? 

Service-learning is a tool used to contextualize learning by integrating relevant service into academic studies.  Students use critical and reflective thinking skills to engage in an identified community need, deepening their understanding of academic content and larger community systems.  Service-learning provides a space in which youth practice informed civic participation, thereby transforming themselves and their community.

Service-learning is commonly confused with community service.
