What is service learning?

Service learning and community engagement are our goals, and they are directly related to social-emotional learning, equity, and inclusion. With service learning, students investigate the underlying issues of a community’s needs and learn how to meet those needs using their talents and skills. They prepare themselves with new skills and knowledge before taking action. Active listening, reflection, asking questions, building empathy, ethical action, and humility are all important aspects of service learning.
