Service-Learning
Service-LearningService-Learning is defined as a teaching tool by which students use what they are learning in class to perform service that meets a genuine need in their school, local or global community. The service-learning activities strengthen students’ understanding of their academic studies, provide opportunities for additional formal learning, and foster a sense of responsibility and active citizenship. Service-learning should have clear connections to standards and benchmarks. Community Service is defined as voluntary, unpaid service that addresses a genuine need in the school, local or global community. There is no intentional tie to formal, academic learning; the emphasis is strictly on the service. AnnouncementsYAR Has Money for Your Service Projects Youth As Resources, a grant-giving organization, has funds available for youth-designed and youth-led community service projects. Kenosha County youth in grades K-12 who are interested in making a difference in their community, and who are sponsored by a school, church, or community agency are encouraged to apply for these grants. Grants up to $500 for funding a service project are available. Please read the grant guidelines and complete a grant application online at http://kenosha.uwex.edu/4h/YAR.html.
