3rd Summit on Indigenous Service Learning - Identity, Service, Place: Exploring our Innate Ties
May 6-8, 2009

What is Service Learning?

"Service Learning increases the capacity of schools and communities to engage students in active learning and service.  Service learning is a teaching method that enriches learning by engaging students in meaningful service to their schools and communities.  Students apply academic skills to solving real-world issues, linking established learning objectives with genuine needs.  Through service learning students apply critical thinking and problem solving skills to concerns such as hunger, pollution, and diversity." - National Leadership Council

"Service Learning is education in action." - Sen. John Glenn
