About Service Learning

Service learning combines community service with academic instruction. In service learning courses, students are involved in organized service projects that address the needs of community organizations. This ‘win-win’ method of instruction develops students’ academic skills in the classroom, as well as a sense of civic responsibility and commitment to their community.

The Service Learning program at College of DuPage provides tools, resources and information for students, faculty members and community organizations.
