Building on their initial service experience, Service Learning II empowers students to deepen their community impact while developing advanced leadership skills that colleges and employers value. This rigorous half-credit course challenges students to complete 60+ hours of targeted volunteer work (minimum 15 hours per organization) paired with 30 hours of reflective activities—all while honing project management, critical thinking, and collaborative problem-solving abilities. Designed for graduates of Service Learning I (or equivalent), this program pushes teens to take greater ownership of their service projects, analyze systemic community needs, and document their personal growth through structured reflections. Though the 90-hour commitment may extend beyond a semester, the rewards are profound: a distinguished academic credential, real-world experience that shines on college applications, and the confidence that comes from creating measurable change. Perfect for motivated students pursuing competitive universities or careers in public service, healthcare, or social innovation, this course transforms compassionate teens into engaged citizens and future leaders.
