Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of service-learning (SL). It identifies the distinctions among SL, internship and volunteerism. A description of the key characteristics of service and learning is provided. In addition, three specific SL types (direct, indirect, advocacy) are delineated. Particular strengths and potential problems of each type are acknowledged. It should be noted that the types are not inherently exclusive. Across their time working with community partners, students can engage in multiple types simultaneously or sequentially. When SL is conducted successfully, it is a mutually beneficial experience for partners and students. Instructors can play a critical role in promoting such experiences.
