Why Service Learning?
Service learning aims to build knowledge, character, and civic skills in young people by combining service to the community with learning in other key areas. By directly linking service to these other key areas, service-learning creates a place for service that is integrated into a program's main goal: clinical intervention.
A good service learning program reinforces specific educational and clinical objectives - such as developing students’ social thinking skills, teaching them how to communicate more effectively, or improving students' social problem solving skills - while also engaging students in meaningful and structured community service.
Service learning offers a unique opportunity for young people to get involved with their communities in a tangible way by integrating service projects with learning. Service learning engages students in the process, using what they learn in educational or clinical settings to solve real-life problems. Students become actively contributing citizens and community members through the service they perform.
