Service learning increases motivation and retention of academic skills as specific learning goals are tied to community needs. By solving real problems and addressing real needs, students learn to apply classroom learning to a real world context. At the same time, students provide valuable services to schools and communities. Source of information: http://www.newhorizons.org/strategies/service_lear ning/front_service.htm

STUDENTS in service-learning classes can benefit academically, professionally, and personally. These are just a few of the ways: Increase your understanding of the class topic Gain hands-on experience (possibly leading to an internship or job later) Explore or cement your values and beliefs Have opportunities to act on your values and beliefs Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills Grow your understanding of diverse cultures and communities Learn more about social issues and their root causes

Overall, I learned a great deal from service learning. In certain situations, I had to step up and take the initiative. For example, during a car wash the FYE program had, I took it upon myself to ask for donations. Marcus Shine, another FYE student, and myself managed to earn $100 in donations. I have also learned to look out for other people and help those in need.
