What is service learning? 

According to Eyler and Giles (1999), service learning is a form of experiential education where learning occurs through a cycle of action and reflection. Students collaborate with others through a process of applying what they are learning to community problems. At the same time, they reflect upon their experience as they seek to achieve real objectives for the community and deeper understanding for themselves.

Service learning is a flexible pedagogy which can be used in a variety of classroom and community settings. Students, community partners, and teachers are key players in developing effective service learning activities. Service learning is connected to the curriculum and is organized around clear learning goals. This pedagogical approach provides meaningful service activities which address real community needs as defined by the community; Most often, service learning projects are interdisciplinary, spanning multiple subject areas, and facilitate communication and collaboration skills.
