Service Learning Guidelines and Procedure
Service Learning Guidelines and Procedure
BACKGROUND
Service Learning Program (SLP) is an educational and curriculum-based approach that balances the student’s experiences
in two different learning environments – the formal classroom and the local community engagement rooted in the Ignatian
Pedagogy. In the context of XU, service-learning seeks to foster a commitment by developing students with competence,
conscience, and commitment through a lived experience of the Jesuit mission – in solidarity with those in need (preferential
option for the poor), and in the light and provision of the Jesuit Province Roadmap and Sustainable Development Goals.
Service-learning is a powerful transformative experience of the students that embodies their Jesuit education in the pursuit of
student’s intellectual development and social formation. Students will be able to work collaboratively within community context,
understand the needs for community service and able to apply their academic competencies learned in the classroom. It is an
experiential learning experience that transpires a reflective-action inspired from the Ignatian perspective of forming men and
women for and with others.
