For most schools, mainly middle and high schools, the hours of the day and class schedules are so firmly established that making time for in- and out-of-school service learning is essential for students to engage in service-learning programs.

Simply, service learning integrates instruction and learning into student learning.  These projects could range from environmental conservation to historical awareness and preservation.  There is a wide array of possibilities for service learning projects, each offering unique learning opportunities for students.

One of our key objectives for next year's service learning is fostering more youth leadership opportunities.  We are excited about the potential for student voices to be heard in leadership roles, and we are actively developing new avenues for this to happen.
