“The great aim and end of all learning is service.”
—Ben Franklin
How You Can Make a Difference
Students all over America are making a difference in their communities through service-learning. From individual efforts to school-wide projects, they are learning inside and outside of the classroom, creating mentoring programs, improving the environment, and tackling other real-life community issues.
Service-learning projects can be sponsored by your school, an individual teacher, a club, or community group.
If you don’t have a service-learning project in your school, there are other ways you can start volunteering right now:
Scholarships & Recognition for Student Service
Students across the nation are meeting challenges in their communities, demonstrating compassion for others and offering service to those who need assistance. In addition to the many things you'll learn and the accomplishment, satisfaction and pride that you'll feel when you work in service to your community, there are also tangible rewards for your participation.
