This was completed with 2 sections of this class taught at Whitter Technical High School to early college students (seniors in high school).
What was the Service-Learning Project?
Students selected a social issue of interest. Each student worked on this issue for eight hours during the semester either through doing service with a community organization or through designing their own service project. Students completed two written reflections relating their service to concepts and theory taught in the class, as well as incorporated the social issue into their final for the class. In total, two sections of this class completed 264 hours of service.
