A Service Learning Practitioner with nine years of experience implementing experiential learning at the higher educational level. Service Learning is a method of teaching and learning that integrates meaningful and intentional community service with classroom curriculum. Service Learning has the capacity to increase student retention, increase student understanding of course material, connect schools with their communities, increase workforce and economic development.

Service Learning can also benefit non profit organizations that utilize volunteers. Service learning can strengthen volunteers through slight but meaningful changes to the existing support structure.
