You already have your curriculum. It is a strategy intended to enrich your existing curriculum. Curriculum-based service learning provides opportunities for students to use curriculum content and academic skills in their community.

It is this intentional, clear link with curricular objectives that distinguishes service learning from community service or volunteerism. Many disciplines can be enhanced by service learning.
