Service Learning

Service Learning:

Service learning is a highly effective teaching strategy that combines meaningful service to curriculum-based learning. Service learning provides students with opportunities to to apply skills they have learned through academic standards to help others in real life situations and helps students to see and understand the positive impact they can have on their community. Students who have taken part in service learning activities have been found to be better prepared for college, the workplace and are also motivated to become active members of society.

Community Service:

Community service provides students with opportunities to volunteer their time in the community. The main objective is to expose students to the needs of the community with a hope that they will continue to see the need to volunteer. Community service is considered to be an extra curicular activity and has no tie to academic or content standards.
