What is Service Learning?

Service learning combines community service, typically outside the classroom, with explicit learning objectives. Students involved in service learning not only to provide direct service to communities and organizations looking for partners, but also come to understand better the conditions that create "need" in the first place, the context in which service is provided, and students' roles as active citizens in a democracy.
