What is Service Learning? Service learning (SL) is an aspect of an academic course that allows students to provide needed volunteer service to disadvantaged communities that utilizes students' academic knowledge and skills. SL classes require students to provide community service as a means of applying their course-related knowledge and skills to community problems. SL thus benefits both the student and the community. Course readings and lectures expose students to theoretical and conceptual issues within psychology that can be applied to community service. In-class discussions and exercises, as well as reflection papers, facilitate students' understanding of how their real-life service experiences relate to the academic information presented in class.
Cal State LA also has the Educational Participation in Communities (EPIC) program which also connects Cal State LA students of all majors to volunteer, this site is primarily for social science majors. Please see the EPIC website for further information.
