What is Service-Learning?
• A “teaching methodology that combines community service with
• explicit academic learning objectives,
• preparation and
• reflection
• Students provide community service but learn about the context in
which it is provided, the connection between the service and their
academic coursework, and their roles as citizens” (Seifer, CCPH, 2000).
