Service learning is an approach to experiential learning,
whereby students learn and develop through active participation
and engage in activities that address human and community
needs together. What distinguishes service-learning from
other volunteer experiences is the intentional integration
of service and learning and the reciprocal nature of both
the service and the learning among all parties in the relationship
- students, faculty, and community partners. Service learning
helps, among other things, to foster civic responsibility.
