Service Learning

Service learning combines community service with classroom instruction, focusing on critical, reflective thinking as well as personal and civic responsibility. Service-learning programs involve students in activities that address local needs while developing student academic skills and commitment to their community.

 

Recognizing that many students are engaged in service to the community, WPCC has formally implemented a service-learning program. In 2007, Western Piedmont Community College was one of 8 community colleges in the nation awarded a 3-year Horizons Service Learning Grant.
