Service-learning is an approach which links active learning to community service. Since it involves a learning component, many people assume that this educational approach is only of interest to those in the school system. However, some afterschool and community-based programs provide service-learning experiences, and since service-learning often involves youth doing service in the community, community-based organizations can benefit from knowing the rationale of service-learning activities and programs.
