What is Learn and Serve-Michigan?
The Learn and Serve-Michigan grant program is part of the Learn and Serve America program for school age youth supported by the CNCS. The Learn and Serve America program funds and assists in the development of high quality service-learning programs in K-12 schools districts.
What is Service-Learning?
Service-learning is a teaching and learning method that connects meaningful service to the community with classroom instruction that enriches learning, teaches civic responsibility, and fosters personal growth. Service-learning helps youth see beyond the classroom and into the community where they learn math, science, language arts, and other required subjects by addressing community needs and solving real-life problems.
