Service Learning

Service Learning is designed to connect the college classroom to the larger world. Vol State students work on projects off-campus which are directly tied to studies in a particular class. The service experiences take place at all sorts of community locations including schools, nursing homes, and parks. The projects meet actual needs and are coordinated between Vol State and a community group. Students think, talk or write about what they experienced during the service activity. Students use the skills they have learned in the classroom and apply them to the real-world. It enhances what they are taught and fosters a sense of belonging in the community.
