What is service-learning?
Picking up trash on a riverbank is service.
Studying water samples under a microscope is learning.
When science students collect and analyze water samples, document their results and present findings to a local pollution control agency... that is service-learning.
Service-learning is a teaching method that enriches learning by engaging students in meaningful service to their schools and communities. Young people apply academic skills to solving real-world issues, linking established learning objectives with genuine needs. They lead the process with adults as partners, applying critical thinking and problem-solving skills to concerns such as hunger, pollution, and diversity.
