Learn and Serve America Frequently Asked Questions What is service learning?
• Service learning is a hands-on method of experiencing learning. Service learning uses the unique technique of applying educational skills to structured service projects that meet the needs of the community. The service is a benefit to the students, as well as the community. The students are given the opportunity to prepare, organize, lead and reflect upon the activity. In order to draw the learning experience outside of the classroom, local communities and organizations often participate in this process as partners. Overall the goal of service learning is to promote a lifestyle that encourages good citizenship and leadership.
