Developing a Service-Learning
Course - work collaboratively with community partners to define the service - engage in an organized service activity that meets identified community needs - reflect on the service activity in order to demonstrate successful accomplishment of identified learning objectives, an enhanced understanding of the community, and a strengthened sense of civic responsibility and philanthropy (This is the key difference between service learning and volunteerism.) |
