Service LearningBy: SK Daughtrey
Service learning is a teaching and learning strategy that
integrates meaningful community service with
instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and
strengthen communities.
I have had the opportunity to be involved in many service learning
opportunities. I was very involved with community service projects during my Senior year of highschool and continued being
involved on through my Freshman year of college.

Completing 10 hours of service learning is an essential part of being in the
Freshman Year Experience Program.
Being a member of Phi Mu has also allowed me to have the opportunity to complete
community service. We are required to complete 10 hours of
community service each semester.
Picking up trash for Adopt-A-Highway
My most time consuming community service project this year was the Volleyball
Tournament for Children’s Miracle Network hosted by Phi Mu.
Children's Miracle Network is the alliance of premier children's hospitals. Every year, Children's Miracle Network hospitals treat 17 million children for every disease and
injury imaginable. Children's Miracle Network hospitals impact the lives of more
children than any other children's organization in the world.

Phi Mu raised over $11,000 for Children’s
Miracle Network. It was a great success..
Service learning is important because it is helping our community
for the better. Our few hours of service can make a huge difference, and in some cases, may even save a life. It is important to take part in
service learning to help you grow as an individual and helps you learn
not to take life for granted.

Benefits I received from my Service Learning:
Overall, my service learning experience was a good one. I
enjoyed what I did and learned a lot from it. A trash pick up can be a little grungy at times, and even though the volleyball tournament was rained out and relocated in the elementary school’s gym, it
all worked out in the end.
My favorite thing was working at the Volleyball tournament. My job was to
help people participating in the tournament find a place to park. I ended
up helping in other areas such as the concession stand and picking up trash. I
want to continue doing community service because I feel like it is helping me
grow as an individual and become a better person.
