What is the Center for Service Learning?

 

The Center for Service Learning (CSL) provides opportunities for personal growth through empowerment for the students of Bennet of Academy. The CSL connects meaningful community service with academic learning, personal growth, civic responsibility, and reflective experience.

Only a limited number of students will be selected for the Center for Service Learning program. Students will grow as individuals, gain respect for peers and increase civic participation. Through service experience students will gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their community and society. Students will develop as leaders who take initiatives, solve problems and work as a team. Students will actively participate in the process of understanding, integrating and applying knowledge from various subject areas as they work to improve their communities.
