Service-learning (SL) is a collaborative teaching and learning strategy designed to promote academic enhancement, personal growth, and civic engagement. Students render meaningful service in community settings that present them with experiences related to academic material. Through guided reflection, students—individually and in groups—examine their experiences critically and articulate specific learning outcomes, thus enhancing the quality of their learning and of their service. SL helps students to deepen their understanding of what they know, who they are, how the world around them works, and their place in it and responsibility to it.
