What is the difference between Service-Learning and Community Service?
Service-Learning is curriculum-based and structured as a class requirement in which students enroll and serve the community. It includes both a classroom and an off-campus experience with a reflective component that meets the objectives and goals set forth by the instructor and of the course. In community service, the emphasis is placed on the people being helped and the service being offered. These are services, which are identified by an institution of higher education, through formal or informal consultation with local nonprofit, governmental, and community-based organizations. Community Service is designed to improve the quality of life for community residents, to solve particular problems related to their needs, including such fields as health care, child care, literacy training, education welfare, social services, transportation, housing and neighborhood improvement, public safety, disaster relief, crime prevention and control, recreation, rural development, and community improvement; among others.
