Service Learning

  Service Learning

"[The service] gave me a better understanding of the issues in the community and I developed a sense of compassion toward those in need." - Hilbert Student, Fall 2013 

"Because of my service learning, I am considered an essential piece of the puzzle that makes up society, and I am more aware of my options and opportunities." ~ Hilbert Student, Fall 2011 

 
"Service learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities."~ Learn and Serve America

Hilbert College's Service Learning Office strives to promote service-learning by:

  • facilitating and sustaining meaningful partnerships between faculty, community agencies and students;
  • providing infrastructure, including placement opportunities and reference tools, for faculty to incorporate service-learning into their courses;
  • supporting faculty development and in-class learning initiatives.
