Service-Learning

For the community, service-learning can help groups . . .

Be a Partner

Local service agencies and activists can be important partners in educating students with community-based learning. Breaking down the division between the school and community fosters cooperation and allows community representatives to share their perspectives and experiences with young people who desire the opportunity to learn and make a difference.

Meet Their Needs

In a positive partnership such as service-learning, local service organizations benefit from the knowledge, creativity, and enthusiasm students contribute to a project. The connection with the University and its resources may enable non-profit agencies to increase their visibility and more effectively reach their goals.
