Service-learning is an effective project-based strategy that extends learning beyond the classroom and allows students to apply their knowledge in ways that transform their learning experiences while fostering a sense of caring about others. This highly interactive workshop will lead participants through the steps of the service-learning process while highlighting how it fits with the project-based guidelines used in City-funded after school and summer learning programs. Examples of successful projects will be shared and information about local and national resources will be provided!
