1. By: Daniel Block Why I Rock at Community Service

2. Service Learning A literal definition: Service-learning combines service objectives with learning objectives with the intent that the activity change both the recipient and the provider of the service. This is accomplished by combining service tasks with structured opportunities that link the task to self-reflection, self-discovery, and the acquisition and comprehension of values, skills, and knowledge content.

3. Service Learning (Continued) My personal definition: Doing something for no other reason than to help an individual or community.
