What is Service Learning?
Service Learning and Civic Engagement connect academic courses to the wider community through mutually beneficial projects with organization off and on campus. The goal is to help meet real-world needs while fostering in students a sense of civic responsibility and a greater awareness of their community. Students’ skills and personal growth are demonstrated in high impact learning experiences, academic outcomes, and guided reflection, preparing students to meet the challenges of being 21st Century citizens.
The Service Learning & Civic Engagement office supports faculty and their students in forming partnerships with non-profits or social service groups. Whether you are Schoolcraft faculty or a potential community partner, if you are interested in helping students learn through service, please reach out to our office directly. We are excited to learn with you!
