Service learning resources

Planning your service learning project from home this week?

Here are some resources to help you brainstorm ideas for your service learning project.

Great Resource -Youth.gov (ideas, funding, support, tons of topics)

Check out this guide for Arts-based Service Learning for Teaching Artists in Tennessee

Here is a toolkit from Learning to Give with lots of lesson plan ideas.

National Service Learning Standards

Check out organizations like: Empty Bowls and Potters for Peace for other examples.

Here is another great project from Cedar Falls that helped build this park.

Be careful when research about service learning projects. 

 You need to remember a few important things:

First- what is the need of the organization you are working with?  

Second- how can that need be met through your art curriculum? 

Third- how will both groups benefit from this and how will reflection play a role in this? 

Good luck!
