Faculty/Staff Service Learning Resources
Service Learning
"Service-learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities. Service-learning is a structured learning experience that combines community service with preparation and reflection. Service learning provides college and university students with a “community context” to their education, allowing them to connect their academic coursework to their roles as citizens."

Additional service learning resources are available for loan from Global MountainServe Center for Community Service. The office has books, films, handouts, and a clearinghouse of regional, national & international community partnerships to explore and support campus service learning efforts.
