Service Learning Courses

Combining learning in the classroom
with service to the community


Green Mountain College recognizes the importance of a strong relationship with the community, and the value these interactions add to a liberal arts education. Students in every field of study contribute to service-learning efforts each year, in projects ranging from environmental research and restoration, to teaching elementary school kids about outdoor living skills.
