CCE distinguishes service-learning from other types of community-engaged learning that take place with community organizations (like internships, client-based class projects, community service, student teaching, service trips, and/or field experience). Service-learning is embedded into academic classes; equally balances the needs of the student, the community, and academic learning; and meets USM's criteria for service-learning.
