What is Service Learning? 
 
Service Learning is a teaching and learning strategy. It is more than simply community service.  Service-learning connects the act of service with rigorous preparation and reflection. The act of service becomes a tool for learning. Service-learning is hands-on, experiential, authentic learning. Service-learning also gives students a chance to make a positive contribution in their community. Teachers throughout Fremont are beginning to integrate service-learning into their classrooms. 
The Service Graduation Requirement:
All Fremont Unified School District high school students need to complete 40 hours of service between 9th and 12th grades in order to graduate. We recommend that students start earning hours during their freshman year.  Students can earn hours through school projects or through an approved non-profit organization.  
 
Please see Mrs. Clark in Room 114 or email her at dclark@fremont.k12.ca.us,  if you have questions. Please click here to download the service learning form and the hours sheet attached
