ABSTRACT

Multicultural awareness, advocacy, and social justice can be taught through service-learning projects, which use practical learning with higher order thinking to benefit the community. Students-in-training are required to design a service-learning project as a major project. Student projects should take 5–20 hours to complete for class, though the actual projects could take 2 hours or months. Service learning is a great way to encourage students to learn early, while they are practicing social justice. Students-in-training are required to design a service-learning project as a major portion of one of their School Counseling courses. The presentation of the project reflects on the summary of the proposal, contemporary knowledge of the need, comprehensive concern of the specific issues, implications of counseling, respect of multicultural issues, and applied advocacy for social justice.
