How is Service Learning different from an internship?
In a typical internship, you perform work related to your specific career interests, and you earn credit just by completing a certain number of hours of work. In the Service Learning program, the work you perform must have a meaningful and positive impact on the community, and it must enable you to use skills and knowledge you’ve acquired in your other coursework at PUC. The reflection exercises you will write as part of your Service Learning course will give you a chance to think about how your service experience applies to your classroom learning, and vice versa. Credit in Service Learning courses is earned not by working but by learning.
