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. Service learning offers a
unique opportunity for America's young people to get involved with their
communities. This helps them to become actively contributing citizens and
community members through the service they perform. Threw service learning students
can build character and become active participants as they work with others in
their school and community to create service projects in areas like education
and environment. Service
learning offers all its participants a chance to take part in the active
education of youth while addressing the concerns, needs, and hopes of
communities. My expectations for this project is to simply help and provide my
services wherever it is needed to help Big Brothers and Big Sisters
organization any way possible. I will also use this experience as a learning
tool to help me acquire knowledge about things that I may not know. It will
give me a chance to work in a group environment and also work with an
organization that’s gives back so much to the community. The skills and
knowledge that I will be able to take from this experience and use it in my
future career are that it will broaden my perspectives and enhances critical thinking skills, improve my
interpersonal and human relation skills which are increasingly viewed as the
most important skills in achieving success in professional and personal circles,
provides guidance and experience for future career choice, provide experience which can be used on my
resume and future college applications, and it develops my network of support
and professional contacts.
