Service-Learning is an educational experience for the mutual benefit of college and community, in which community organizations become co-educators with Kentucky Wesleyan College. Addressing community needs, students apply knowledge and skills learned in academic coursework and through reflection and discourse, students gain a deeper understanding of their personal connection to the local community and the broader world.
