Service-learning: a path to smarter citizenship


Reading. Writing. Research. Lectures. These are the tools of learning. And at Whitworth University, we use all these and a little more.

As an added tool, professors integrate service-learning in the community into dozens of courses across the curriculum as a way to apply course concepts and to engage in critical thinking, creative expression, or structured reflection. You might tutor low-income youth for Educational Psychology or archive museum holdings for Asian American Literature. You may lead drama workshops for mentally ill adults or do something as simple as planting trees.

You'll walk away from your classes with not only a deeper understanding of the material, but with a sense of civic responsibility, and the experience of living out Whitworth's mission – to honor God, follow Christ, and serve humanity.
