Service Learning

Operation Outreach is designed for students aiming to undertake service learning. Service learning is a teaching method that enriches learning by engaging students in meaningful service to their schools and communities. Young people apply academic skills to solving real-world issues, linking established learning objectives with genuine needs. They lead the process, with adults as partners, applying critical thinking and problem-solving skills to concerns such as hunger, pollution, and diversity.

Operation Outreach takes each participant from the inception of his or her service learning endeavor through to each student’s personal and social learning outreach project. Combining advocacy work with what we term heart-led project management, each student is given the chance to give back and learn emotionally, cognitively and academically as well. There is a great deal of youth ownership, innovative thinking and project management skills that go with the turf as well.

We are an approved YLDG vendor of the National Youth Council (NYC), hence up to 70% of program fees is subsidized by NYC.
