Service Learning/Civic Engagement
Service learning combines community service with classroom instruction, focusing on critical, reflective thinking as well as personal and civic responsibility. Service learning programs involve students in activities that address local needs while developing student academic skills and commitment to their community.
Recognizing that many students are engaged in service to the community, WPCC has formally implemented a service learning program. Western Piedmont Community College is recognized nationally as a leader among rural colleges providing service learning opportunities.
