Service learning combines conventional academic instruction with participation in direct, meaningful community service. More than a volunteering opportunity, service learning elevates in-class study and furthers educational goals while promoting a sense of civic responsibility and community commitment. From focused instruction and concept discussions with classmates to practical, real-world application and after-the-fact reflection and assessment, the learning process becomes a much richer and more well-rounded experience.
