Service learning programs
[7][8] The Kernodle Center for Civic Life at Elon University focuses on inspiring and preparing students to work with diverse communities while addressing local and global concerns and issues.[19] At Purdue University, service-learning focused on the education and academic aspect of service-learning: a) participate in an organized service activity that meets community-identified needs; b) use knowledge and skills directly related to a course, discipline and/or specific learning outcomes; and c) reflect on the service activity in such a way as to gain further understanding of course content and/or learning outcomes and an enhanced sense of personal values and civic responsibility.[24][25][26][27] Tulane University writes believes in “learning by doing” which enables students to apply academic knowledge and critical thinking skills to meet genuine community needs.[28][29][30] APPLES Service-Learning[31] is a student-led program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill that transforms educational experiences by connecting academic learning and public service.[32][33][34] The McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame provides opportunities to be in several different service learning activities that include Catholic theology, ministry, spirituality, and formation.
