With the myriad of service choices, it�s important that students first spend some time exploring their own interests, skills, and experiences so they can select a project they will truly enjoy and at which they will be successful. Service learning is not about "assigning" students a service project. It�s about empowering them to address an authentic community need that truly interests them.
During this step in the service learning process, students should be encouraged to identify their individual experiences, talents, skills, and interests.
What students can do:
- Have students list their wishes, what they like to do, what their experiences are, and when they�ve been most successful. See Student Learning Log for ideas.
- Have students interview each other about their skills, interests, and abilities.
- Have students interview other people in their lives to see how others view their talents.
- Have students draw conclusions about how they can impact the community, based on their answers to one or more of these activities.
Ideas for Reflection: Have students write or share things about themselves that make them proud and happy. Based on their answers, have them identify what they can offer to their community.
