The benefits of service learning:
Service learning can
greatly enrich the learning experience, while teaching civic
responsibility. The student will also learn to help meet local, regional,
and global needs by assessing what can benefit each area.
Service learning is also a great thing to add to a resume.
Companies look for potential employees who have had experience with their
communities. Service learning to them shows determination, commitment,
the ability to work with others, and the fact you are aware of
current issues within the community. These are all great benefits
that come with Service Learning.
Real quotes from students who have
participated in Service learning:
"Service learning has really opened my eyes
to what my community needs. I have had a great time working with
everyone in my community. I am proud to be someone that my community
can look to me for help and it really makes my day when I see a random
person on the street and they tell me thank you!"
"Service learning is so much fun! I never
thought that when I started do it that I would end up having so much
fun in the end. It has really helped me meet new people that have a
common interest in the same things that I do."
