- National Environmental Education Week | Service Learning
Service-learning and environmental education share many basic goals. At their best, both engage students in experiential learning that results in student-driven action to improve their communities. Studies* show that both service-learning and environmental education improve students' sense of achievement, increase their academic success (including standardized test scores), and help to develop their problem-solving and leadership skills.
