What is service learning?

• Chance to get out into the community and serve
• Form of community service geared towards applying
  knowledge from the classroom to real life and
  helping people
• The most important thing an institution does is
  not to prepare a student for a career but for a
  life as a citizen. - Frank Newman

I feel that this has left a mark on me, a mark
that will inspire me to get others involved
because community service is such a beneficial
thing.
As a member of a community, service learning has
made me realize that I am doing the right thing
by contributing my time and energy to help
others.

• This experience has changed me as a person. I
  think that this experience has shown me how
  important it is to help out your community in any
  way possible. Not only does it benefit others,
  but it also benefits the volunteer.
