Service learning is a teaching/learning strategy in which students learn and develop through active participation in high quality service that meets the needs of a community and which is integrated into and enhances a rigorous academic curriculum.  Service-learning is aligned with the state standards, fosters civic responsibility, and provides structured time for student reflection.  While community service has long been a part of school activities through service, club, student government, and leadership activities, it is often an “add-on” that is not integrated into the core curriculum.  Through service-learning, a service activity can be developed as an educational experience, directly tied to the standards.
