An Exploration of Service Learning
Earlier this year we teamed up with The Phoenix Project to look at the state of service learning. For those unfamiliar with service learning, it’s where a service project is integrated with classroom learning. This was a great opportunity for us to get a glimpse of how young people are actively engaged in strengthening their communities, and how their universities and professors are supporting those efforts and relating them to academic study.
We wanted to learn more about not only participation levels but what’s working and what’s not in service learning among three groups of participants: students, university faculty and staff, and community organizations.
We’ve shared a bit about our service learning conversations and what we learned at http://craigslistfoundation.org/servicelearning.html. We hope it contributes to the evolution of service learning.
