Students and teachers around the country have identified many benefits of service learning.
Many high schools recommend or require that their students participate in community service.
Usually, students volunteer at community agencies, then reflect on the experience, often by writing about it or by making a brief presentation to classmates. At the university level, service-learning is typically an activity students undertake in the context of their classes. Many departments at UNOmaha offer practicums or internships at community-based organizations. If you've chosen a major, check with your advisor for opportunities in your field.
