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

Afterschool programs can benefit from incorporating youth voice into program design. Here’s how to begin.  

Service-Learning Curriculum

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

Service-Learning Resources

These are additional service-learning resources and links to support your service-learning journey.
