Service-learning courses at Lynchburg College are credit-bearing, educational experiences in which students: 1) participate in an organized service activity consistent with community needs and 2) reflect on the activity to gain further understanding of course content and a broader appreciation of the academic disciplines.
Service-learning courses combine service objectives with learning objectives with the intent that the activity will change both the recipient and provider of the service. Successful service-learning courses link the service opportunities to self-reflection, self-discovery, and the acquisition and comprehension of values, skills, and knowledge.
