Service-learning is a teaching method that engages students in solving problems within their schools and communities as part of their academic studies.
Research has shown that service-learning has an enduring positive impact on students' academic achievement, civic engagement, and personal and social development.
Service-learning is an effective instructional pedagogy which asks students to use their abilities and skills to make their school, local, and global communities stronger.
Service-learning is a key strategy in developing 21st century skills which will lead to a prepared workforce and a civically engaged citizenry.
