The Service-Learning Program works with students and teachers of St Cloud Area School District 742 and community partners in the surrounding community to cultivate projects that are applicable to what is taught in the classroom.

Service learning provides meaningful ways for students, teachers, administrators and community agencies and members to move together with deliberate thought and action toward a common purpose that has mutual benefits.

“Service-learning is a philosophy, pedagogy and model for community development that is used as an instructional strategy to meet learning goals and/or content standards.”
