Service-Learning
"Connecting the classroom to the community..."

"Tell me and I forget.
Teach me and I may remember.
Involve me and I will learn." -Benjamin Franklin

What is Service-Learning?
Service-learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community
service opportunities into a student's coursework. Students are able to become active
participants in the learning process by using what they learn in the classroom to
solve real-life problems.
Mission:
The mission of the Kingsborough Service-Learning Program is to place students in community
sites related to their coursework with the dual goal of enhancing student learning
outcomes and fulfilling the needs of the community.
Functions:
The Office of Service-Learning provides training, support, and resources to participating
faculty, students, and community organizations.
