Welcome to the Center for Service-Learning, the gateway to experiential knowledge.
What is Service-Learning?
Service-Learning is a method of teaching and learning that engages students in meaningful service to their communities,
through careful integration of academic instruction. Service-Learning gives students an opportunity to use knowledge gained
in class to address the needs of the community.
Service-Learning provides high-quality learning opportunities in alignment with the college's mission. Select from many
academic courses with a service learning component.
Why Service-Learning?
Many courses at SFCC have an added life experience component. Internships and course specific clinicals have been utilized in
specialized fields of study for a long time. They are one component of Service-Learning. Service-Learning is also available
for other academic courses.
Optimizing this teaching and learning method requires coordination between classroom faculty, individual students and
our community partners.
