Service-learning is a teaching and learning strategy that
integrates meaningful community service with instruction and
reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic
responsibility, and strengthen communities. As defined by
the Chancellor's Office, Service-Learning incorporates the
following:
Service-Learning links service to
the community with academic study.
Service-Learning includes
structured reflection to integrate study and service.
Service-Learning emphasizes working
with individuals & groups on needs defined by the community.
Service-Learning includes civic
responsibility, reflection, and critical thinking as part of the
course.
Service-Learning also includes
clarification of career objectives and acquisition of
work-related skills.
We believe students can make
valuable contributions to the world as they gain challenging
educational experience. We strive to increase community
involvement and strengthen leadership skills through direct
service, connect community-based work with academic study, and
build meaningful relationships between members of the college
and the community.
