What is Service-Learning?

School-based service-learning combines meaningful service to the community with classroom studies in a way that improves student learning and strengthens the community.  Students work in collaboration with community members, teachers, and classmates to meet real community needs, while applying core concepts from the regular classroom curriculum.  Students develop responsibility and citizenship while increasing academic achievement.
