Service-Learning is One Solution.
Kids Who Care is about ACADEMICS IN ACTION - students who participate in service-learning are more engaged in their classrooms and more likely to stay in school. Educator facilitated service-learning requires students to use their academic skills, talents and passions to make the world a better place.
Kids Who Care provides Service-Learning training and outreach to educators in Arizona...free of charge!
Kids Who Care trains educators how to incorporate service-learning into their curriculum. With service-learning in place, teachers can answer student's age old question, "Why do I have to learn this stuff?"
Through our structured training program and follow-up consultations, teachers learn to lead their students through hands-on, curriculum based, community service projects. Service-Learning programming allows students opportunities to practice their new knowledge in a setting that encourages learning to stick!
