What is Service Learning?

Service Learning is more than just simple volunteering. It is a way of teaching and learning that connects positive and meaningful action in the community with academic learning, personal growth, and civic responsibility. Service Learning helps develop citizenship and good character while providing direct connections to the academic curriculum.

Some Tips from our SL Director Ms. Lindsay

It is very important that the SL Application and log sheets are completed.

Students need to complete SL forms for outside agencies; an application must be completed for each SL agency they volunteer at.

Tips from Ms. Lindsay Part 2

SL forms only need to be completed once per agency

A log sheet must be completed for hours (monthly, quarterly or yearly)

Tips from Ms. Lindsay Part 3

Please do not log individual hours. Group them monthly, quarterly or yearly. Then log and turn in the log sheet.

Use the last date of the log with total hours when inputting in X2Vol. Student needs to use comment section to denote date from to end date and total hours.

Lindsay Part 4

The SL contact provider must verify in X2Vol. No signature for contact provider is needed on the form, but contact provider information must be completed.

Lindsay Part 5

Students do not need to complete an SL form for in-house groups.

For example, HPC Club SL projects/events or HPC school SL projects/events. Students are encouraged to keep a log, so when they input their hours in X2VOL, they can do all the hours for November or December.

Lindsay Part 6

Please make sure that students do not use a school club for their personal outside agencies; unless the whole club is doing an event with an agency – then the advisor would verify in the system.
