Service-learning is fundamentally an academic endeavor in which service is an integrated component of a course. It is a credit-bearing, experiential education approach that involves an established community partnership guided by the expertise of professors and community-based practitioners, working together with students to address community needs. The partnerships between Elon and the community engage students in service primarily with nonprofit organizations, schools and government agencies.
Elon University affirms the importance of engaged pedagogies as a foundation of our curriculum that advances our goal of developing global citizens and informed leaders. Toward this end, Academic Service-Learning courses contribute to a variety of personal, cognitive and social outcomes including enhanced self-awareness, improved critical thinking, and an increased understanding of social responsibility, diversity and societal structures.
