Service-learning combines service objectives with learning objectives with the intent that the activity change both the recipient and the provider of the service. This is accomplished by combining service tasks with structured opportunities that link the task to self-reflection, self-discovery, and the acquisition and comprehension of values, skills, and knowledge content. In the past several years, the idea of service-learning has spread rapidly throughout communities, K-12 institutions, and colleges and universities, including WKU. If you are interested in service-learning as part of your curriculum and have no idea where to start, contact the Alive Center for assistance.
