responsibility, and strengthen communities.” – Learn and Serve America National Service Learning Clearinghouse

“Service learning is different than community service in several key ways. Service learning includes student leadership, reflective and academic components, and chances for celebration once the service activity has been successfully completed. Students reflect on community needs, ways to help, and once their service has been completed, they can internalize how their efforts have helped, while learning more about academics such as geography, math, or science.” – character.org

“Service-learning is based on the idea that learning doesn’t occur only as a result of an action or experience, but as a result of intentional reflection on that experience, in the service of achieving specific learning outcomes.” – Barbara Jacoby, PhD

At KMMC we use the service-learning pedagogy to help kids develop their academic skills and natural talents, taking them out in the real world through projects; projects they come up with that focus on making a difference in their community. To date, all our club students’ projects and events have focused on making that difference by enhancing the lives of other kids, kids with physical and developmental challenges. But as club students are discovering there are many more ways they can help make a difference in their community; things they can add to increase that positive impact and their learning. Have your son or daughter join our club students as they further explore, develop, share and watch miracles happen! Some benefits of the multi-discipline, project based approach to our service-learning pedagogy
• Projects empower students to learn, where the instructor is a coach, a facilitator.
• Projects make it possible to discover one’s natural talent and personal interest.
• Projects make it possible to discover one’s learning personality.
• Projects are learning tools that is motivated by curiosity.
• Successful projects are the results of failure and learning to bounce back from it.
• Projects require a plan, which includes ways to acquire needed knowledge and skills. Help us improve and grow our program by supporting us today. Thank you for your support! Steve
