Service-learning courses prepare students for lives of active citizenship.
Working with the community provides knowledge of volunteer
opportunities and helps students see the value of engaging in community
service. By participating in the community, students begin to understand
the complexity of issues in our region, encouraging them to take respon-
sibility for their own learning. Service-learning students have explored
economic inequality, access to education, healthy living, and sustainability
concerns through academic and civic concepts. Providing TAMIU students
with civic knowledge empowers them to be agents of change!
