10. Action… Service… CAS… Why?

11. WE CARE… because,

12. Why do we care? A Research based study Researcher Diane Hedin indicates that the biggest problem students must overcome in school is a lack of motivation (Hedin 1989). She asserts that boredom is probably a function of what seems to many students an unfathomable gap between the curriculum and their everyday lives... Community service [learning] provides the critical missing link for many students, an opportunity to apply academic learning to real human needs and to make the knowledge gained usable in one's thinking beyond the situation in which the learning occurred." (Hedin 1989) Service learning, therefore, provides students with the motivation necessary to put forth effort in academics, it gives them more opportunities to integrate and elaborate on their knowledge, and it increases the likelihood of transferring theoretical knowledge to actual practice.
