Service Learning is a five-part process!
1) Figuring out what you'd like to do
2) Making arrangements to do it
3) Doing it
4) Accounting for it (getting your form signed and bringing to your school for your transcript)
5) Putting it on your resume, because this is what potential employers (and colleges) love to see!
