Afterschool Serves TN

Service-learning provides students with opportunities to develop civic engagement skills. By working with community members, students can enhance their group, organizational, and interpersonal skills. They also can gain important experience working with diverse members of their communities.

The resources provided by Tennessee Afterschool Network are evidence-based practices and curriculum that will help programs be intentional about building service-learning modules and strengthening relationships with youth, caregivers and community partners.

Start with understanding the issue, identifying best practices and resources your program can easily adopt, and gradually moving toward adopting additional standards that are aimed at creating a model service-learning environment.

Getting Started

A list of things to consider and a timeline to jump-start your service-learning project.

Youth Engagement

Service-Learning Curriculum

Here you will find a series of links to resources on curriculum building specific to service-learning courses.

Service-Learning Resources

National Days of Service

Our goal is to get youth across the state of Tennessee involved in service learning. As a youth-serving organization and community leader, you can help by partnering with us to teach your students about service learning through the events listed below.
