Service Learning

Service-learning is a credit-bearing, educational experience in which students: 1) participate in an organized service activity that meets identified on- and off-campus community needs and 2) reflect on the service activity in such a way as to gain further understanding of course content, a broader appreciation of the discipline, and an enhanced sense of civic responsibility

What I Gained From Service Learning

The experience I gained from Service Learning helped me get to know my community better. Being new to Valdosta it was nice getting to interact with people from here and get to know what this city is all about. Service Learning helped me get more involved with the community, university, and other athletic teams.

THE END!
