Community

Benefits to Partners and the Community

In addition to fostering the development of leadership skills and a sense of civic responsibility in students, Service-Learning offers significant advantages to agencies. The major benefit of Service-Learning is the opportunity to work in collaboration with others in order to achieve together what could not be achieved alone. Additional benefits of Service-Learning in the community include:

• Access to faculty and student talent and expertise
• Enhanced agency visibility
• Opportunities to contribute to higher education by sharing knowledge and skills with students and faculty.
• Interagency collaborations to address identified community needs.
