How does Service-Learning help students?
Service learning offers another way to learn course material–through experience. It can help you develop critical thinking, interpersonal, team-building and personal skills and gives you opportunities to develop professional skills and evaluate possible careers. It also may help you clarify your values and acquaint you with a variety of persons and issues in your community. Are there service-learning opportunities during the summer? Service-learning opportunities are usually offered only during the fall and spring semesters due to the number of hours of service required. However, occasionally an instructor will offer opportunities in the summer. Check with your summer instructor to determine availability.
