Introduction

Learning through Serving: A Student Guidebook for Service-Learning and Civic Engagement across Academic Disciplines and Cultural Communities is a textbook for students who, like yourself, are involved in service-learning experiences as part of the college or university program. We wrote this book because we care about your serving and learning experience. Whether you are performing service work in the community as a member of a course or engaging in service on your own, we offer exercises and activities to help you have a more effective, interesting, and meaningful experience.
