What is Service-Learning?

According to the National Service-Learning Clearinghouse, "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."


Service-Learning at MCC

• Service-Learning allows you to give back to your community while earning academic credit!
• Students participate in an organized service project or activity that meets identified community needs.
• The academic portion of the project comes in the form of reflection assignments created by and assigned by the professor.
• Service-Learning has been shown to provide students with further understanding of course content, a broader appreciation of the discipline, and an enhanced sense of civic responsibility.
• The service and the learning are designed to be valuable for both the student and the community partner.
