Service-Learning is an investigative process that effectively promotes learning by connecting a student’s academic studies to real life experiences and service to the community. In Greendale, we have had a tradition of students and staff engaging in Service-Learning and we continue to enhance this practice to promote student achievement, civic pride, and individual responsibility at all grade levels. This work is based on the belief that when students and staff have an opportunity to apply their skills and personal strengths to communal activities, the entire community will benefit.

The documents in the sidebar were developed by Greendale staff and will guide you as you assist students in planning a Service-Learning project. The links in the sidebar are for regional and national sites that can provide you with a wide range of resources as you work with students to develop high-quality Service-Learning projects.
