Webinar: Semester of Service
Posted by on November 23, 2009
Semester of Service links prominent national service events – such as Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service and Global Youth Service Day – through an extended service-learning framework of at least 70 hours. Young people ages 5-25, spend the “semester” addressing a meaningful community need connected to intentional learning goals and/or academic standards. Semester of Service emphasizes “Duration and Intensity”, enriching the experience by providing participants with enough time to incorporate the five stages of service-learning: Investigation, Preparation & Planning, Action, Reflection, and Demonstration/Celebration.
