The Reachout America Service Learning Program is a unique and wonderful educational and enlightening opportunity. Not only can individual students actively engage in but also contribute directly to their particular community while earning academic credit/hours toward their graduation requirements. This program is also a great way for the general public to interact with and participate in the teaching of youth in their neighborhoods. It is a cool mix of both teaching and learning. It offers community members the chance to take part in the active education of its youth and offers the participants seeking the experience of service-learning the chance to identify, address and do something worthwhile about real needs in their own area. As a fun, hands-on approach to education, service-learning allows students to go out into the real world and embark on a plan of action that will directly improve, enhance and uplift the lives of others in their immediate community.
