Keep in mind that service-learning is closely linked to the academic goals of a course and involves preparation, action, reflection, and assessment. That combination of components is mainly what separates service-learning from volunteerism and straight community service. Another reason the term “volunteer” really doesn’t apply is that the work students do is more than likely required for the course. Service-learning differs from an internship in that service-learning work is typically done for a nonprofit agency, not a business or corporation in one’s field of study.Service-Learning vs. Volunteering or Internships
