Description
Service-learning projects for self-directed learners offer a great opportunity for high school students to give back to their communities, develop 21st-century skills, and build their resumes through community involvement.
Individuals or small groups design and lead their own service-learning projects while you facilitate. This tool kit provides guiding templates to scaffold students seamlessly and independently through the experience from start to finish.
"I used it to lay the groundwork for service-learning projects. Gave me a great place to start." - Heather
Using the tool kit, individuals or small groups will:
- Choose a community topic
- Research that topic in-depth
- Interview community members to identify specific needs related to the subtopic
- Brainstorm service-learning projects with the intention of filling the defined need
- Complete service-learning projects.
There is very little prep on your part. Simply introduce the experience, print the guiding templates, and facilitate and manage experiences.

Timeframe: I did not add a specific time duration for this project because it will vary widely based on learning structure and project details. A service-learning project could take anywhere from 2 weeks to 9 months. If you tell students that they have 2 weeks to complete these projects, they will plan their experiences around that timeline.
