Depending on your year group, you will be working on these types of projects as a class, in small groups, or individually.
There are THREE types of service learning you can engage in.
These are DIRECT SERVICE, INDIRECT SERVICE, or ADVOCACY.
Your service directly affects and involves the recipients. The interactions are person-to- person and face-to-face.
With indirect activities students do not see the recipients; however, their actions benefit the community, a non-profit organization or environment as a whole.
