Service Learning

Helping others.

It's all about service.

Service-learning provides students the opportunity to apply instruction and skills through helping others within the community. If you or your organization has an idea on a service-learning project, we would like to know about it.

Types of service-learning projects.

Examples of direct and indirect service-learning projects include

Tutoring other students and adults at all levels
Conducting art/music/dance lessons for youth
Giving presentations on violence and drug prevention or other topics
Helping at a homeless shelter
Planning and conducting public forums on topics of interest to the community
Restoring historic structures and/or building low-income housing
Removing invasive plants and restoring ecosystems in preserve areas for public use
Fabricating bicycle racks for downtown business districts
Serving on nonprofit boards and other organizations
Participating in clean-up projects in the community
