what is service learning?

Service learning is a method of experiential learning.

You learn about the world as you do service work.
It has three essential components.

Out of your comfort zone
In service learning, you move out of your comfort zone to work with people and in situations that are new and may be uncomfortable for you. By doing this, you see the world through different eyes and other people's experiences.

Mutuality
In service learning, you discover that you are receiving as much as you give.

Reflection
In service learning, you spend time thinking about the experience and the issues.
