Benefits of service-learning

Students in service-learning courses can benefit academically, professionally, and personally. These are just a few of the ways:

  • Gain hands-on experience
  • Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills
  • Learn more about your community and social issues
  • Improve your ability to handle different experiences
  • Enhance communication skills
  • Test your skills you have learned from the class to help out your community
  • Grow a professional network of people you might connect with again later for jobs or internships
  • Satisfy your urge toward public service or civic participation
  • Make a difference and contribute to your community
