Service-learning is a holistic and hands-on model of education that expands the walls of the classroom into the community by engaging students in meaningful service opportunities that are purposefully linked with the academic curriculum. Through intentional cycles of reflection and action, service-learning enables students to discover for themselves how academic theories are linked to the real world.  Ultimately, service-learning collectively empowers students, faculty, and community members to address pertinent public issues and needs, which makes for stronger and healthier individuals, classrooms, and communities.

As a result of engaging in service-learning at Shoreline Community College, students will be able to:

1. Recognize and articulate principles of power and privilege within the context of one's service experience.
2. Use one's service-learning experience to develop reflective, critical, and creative thinking skills.
3. Demonstrate awareness of one's responsibility to self, others, and/or the natural world and take appropriate action within one's spheres of influence.
4. Demonstrate critical understanding of personal and institutionalized prejudice encountered at one's service site.
5. Cultivate and maintain mutually beneficial and collaborative relationships.
6. Connect one's service with principles and values of service-learning, college learning, and lifelong learning.
7. Understand the complexities, challenges, and benefits of service.
