I also would like for you to visit any of the numerous websites about Service-Learning - starting at the UGA Service-learning Web site http://www.servicelearning.uga.edu/

The Service Learning Clearing House also has great resources to further your understanding of how a Service-Learning course is different from your everyday course. http://www.servicelearning.org/
