Service Learning Program 2022-2023

The Service Learning Program for K-12 schools in Louisiana and Mississippi is generously funded by the Brown Foundation. Service Learning projects give students the opportunity to meet community needs through hands-on experiences that extend beyond the classroom. Applications for funding for the 2022-2023 school year will be accepted through May 6, 2022. The Service Learning Program adheres to the National Youth Leadership Council definition and standards of Service Learning. All funded service-learning programs must include classroom learning and require a partnership with a service organization (such as a non-profit or school other than your own). Also, the programs must follow the IPARD (Investigation, Preparation, Action, Reflection, and Demonstration) model developed by NYLC. We recommend that all new teachers attend a service learning workshop to learn more about service learning and the application process.
