The purpose of service learning is to involve America’s students in community service that prepares them for responsible citizenship (National Education Goals for the year 2000); however, service learning is more than simple volunteerism or community service. The experiential component of service learning, according to Kielsmeier, (February 2011) provides opportunity for “young people to become urban planners, engineers, urban farmers, microbiologists, community organizers, or playwrights, tackling important issues in their neighborhoods or cities.” (p3).
