SPRING Service-Learning Network

Welcome!

The SPRING service-learning network promotes service-learning among institutions of higher education in the Southwestern Pennsylvania region. 

Service-learning is an educational method, in which students perform meaningful service to meet community-identified needs while reflecting on their actions in a way that allows them to better understand course concepts, the role their discipline plays in society, and their civic identity.
