The Center For Service-Learning at Denison serves as a connection for students, faculty and community based organizations that are interested in Service-Learning partnerships and reciprocal learning opportunities. The Center was established in 1997. Each year, more than 200 students enroll in service-learning courses, contributing more than 6,000 hours to the community. In addition, more than 600 students volunteer through the Denison Community Association contributing more than 18,000 hours annually. The America Reads program provides work study tutors in 11 area schools and provides another 7,000 hours of service to local school children. Service-learning works through reciprocal partnerships between the university and the larger community in which students test educational theories and their own assumptions while the community receives the freshness and energy of student service work.
