Service-Learning

At Chaminade University, service-learning is a high-impact practice by which students learn through active participation in thoughtfully organized service which meets the needs of the community. As distinct from community service, service-learning is integrated into and enhances the academic curriculum. It includes structured means for reflection on the service experience and helps to foster civic and corporate responsibility. As a pedagogy, service-learning emerges from experiential learning theory and encourages active student involvement in the learning process.

Why do we do service-learning?

Service-learning is Chaminade’s Mission Statement in action; it…

  • offers its students an education in a collaborative learning environment
  • prepares them for life, work and service
  • encourages the development of moral character and personal competencies, and the commitment to build a just and peaceful society
  • offers the civic and church communities of the Pacific region its academic and intellectual resources in the pursuit of common aims

Service-learning helps to bridge the “real world” and the classroom. Research, both locally and nationwide, has shown that service-learning is effective as a method of teaching and as a means of learning. It helps improve students’ grades, test scores, attendance, and self-confidence. It builds critical thinking and communication skills and fosters civic engagement while allowing students to test and apply what they are learning in the classroom.

As a Marianist institution, community and civic engagement are priorities. We look to Jesus’ spirit of service; His life was a life of service to all humankind.

In support of our institutional mission, the Chaminade Service-Learning Program promotes lifelong civic engagement through mutually beneficial relationships in connected learning.
