What Does Service-Learning
Service-learning is an instructional method that
combines community service with a structured schoolbased opportunity for reflection about that service,
emphasizing the connections between service
experiences and academic learning. Although most
service-learning activities vary by educational
purpose, most programs balance students’ need to
learn with recipients’ need for service. Students
benefit by acquiring skills and knowledge, realizing
personal satisfaction and learning civic benefits by
having a local need addressed. Service-learning is an
excellent way to let students apply concepts learned in
the classroom.
Look Like?
In schools, service-learning is part of the academic
curriculum. In community organizations, youth
develop practical skills, self-esteem, and a sense of
civic responsibility. Examples of service-learning
projects include: preserving native plants, designing
neighborhood playgrounds, teaching younger children
to read, testing the local water quality, creating
wheelchair ramps, preparing food for the homeless,
developing urban community gardens, starting school
recycling programs, and much more.
Types of Service

Why is Service-Learning Important?
A national study of service-learning programs
suggests that effective service-learning programs
improve academic grades, increase attendance in
school, and develop personal and social responsibility.
Whether the goal is academic improvement, personal
development, or both, students learn critical thinking,
communication, teamwork, civic responsibility,
mathematical reasoning, problem solving, public
speaking, vocational skills, computer skills, scientific
method, research skills, and analysis.
