Service Learning
Service-learning combines academic study, community involvement and critical reflection. Through service-learning, students collaborate with others within or beyond the university, engaging with public issues in ways designed to develop particular knowledge, skills or abilities.
Brock University offers service learning opportunities across all academic programs at various years of study, from first year to fourth, as well as some graduate courses and co-curricular service-learning opportunities both locally and internationally.
