Key Activities & Deliverables
Service learning experiences enable students to learn and apply academic, social, and personal skills to improve the community, continue individual growth, and develop a lifelong ethic of service.
Students are able to identify an interest and a community need while developing and completing a service project addressing the community need.
Students complete structured activities before, during, and after the experience and then reflect and self-assess their achievements.

About The Service-Learning Experience
The STEAM Investigative Process
The Community On Demand Service-Learning Work-Based Learning Experience helps students conduct initial research to determine community needs, including conducting surveys, consulting community agency representatives, and coordinating with local media.
Objective
The National Youth Leadership Council (NYLC) established eight standards for service learning: *
- Meaningful Service: Service learning actively engages participants in meaningful and personally relevant service activities.
- Link to Curriculum: Service learning is intentionally used as an instructional strategy to meet learning goals and/or content standards.
- Reflection: Service learning incorporates multiple challenging reflection activities that are ongoing and that prompt deep thinking and analysis about oneself and one’s relationship to society.
- Diversity: Service learning promotes understanding of diversity and mutual respect among all participants.
- Youth Voice: Service learning provides youth with a strong voice in planning, implementing, and evaluating service learning experiences with guidance from adults.
- Partnerships: Service learning partnerships are collaborative, mutually beneficial, and address community needs.
- Progress Monitoring: Service learning engages participants in an ongoing process to assess the quality of implementation and progress toward meeting specified goals and uses results for improvement and sustainability.
- Duration and Intensity: Service learning has sufficient duration and intensity to address community needs and meet specified outcomes.
