Service Learning

By: Cory Harrell

Service Learning

Service learning is defined as a method

of teaching, learning and reflecting that

combines academic classroom curriculum with

meaningful service, frequently youth service,

throughout the community.

Freshman Year Experience

Freshman Year Experience is a great

program for freshman at Valdosta State

University. It helps the freshman meet new

people, adjust to campus life, and become

active in the community for a minimum of ten

hours.

The Crescent

• The ladies who help maintain the Crescent

needed assistance in moving things because

they are too elderly.

• Here I helped move large tables, chairs, and

replaced lights that were burned out.

Camping for Cancer

• Sigma Alpha Epsilon held a three day event

called Camping for Cancer.

• Basically, people camped out in the SAE yard

and saved all the cans they drank out of so they

could cash them in.

• The money went to Relay for Life.

Camping for Cancer

• I had to help pick up all of the cans everyday.

• I also had to take the tabs off all of them so

they could sell them too and get more money

for cancer programs.

• We also had to crush all the cans.

Learning Experience

I learned…

• teamwork

• responsibility

• confidence.

Positives

• I had a feeling of accomplishment because I

assisted those who are less fortunate than myself.

• I met a lot of new people.

• I bettered my community.

Negatives

• The only real negative of community service is

that it is time consuming.

Why is Community Service Important?

Community service is important

because it teaches people responsibility,

helps people in need, and betters the

community.

THE END!
