Wilkes University Department of Education and First Year Foundations, Office of Civic Engagement, The Pennsylvania Council for the Social Studies, and the Pennsylvania Service- Learning Alliance are pleased to invite you to join us for a special Service-Learning mini-conference.  The focus of the conference will be on teaching and learning strategies that integrate high impact community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities.

Through a range of hands-on activities, participants will gain an understanding of the IPARD service-learning process and acquire experience applying the process while generating ideas for potential service-learning projects that connect to academic standards and course learning objectives.
